More news from Spanish National Team
There are games that mark a before and after. That could be the case of Pedro Porrowho this Tuesday had an outstanding game in Spain’s victory against Serbia in Córdoba. The Tottenham full-back has taken a step forward after the serious injury to Dani Carvajal and the goodbye of Jesús Navas and is called to take over the right side of the team.
While it is true that his first games with La Roja were not very positive, Porro seems to have matured and taken a step forward. Aware of the team’s needs on that side, Luis de la Fuente has given him the start in the two games of this break, both against Denmark and against Serbia.
Pedro Porro, a plane against Serbia
This Tuesday, Pedro Porro shone with his own light from the first minute. Reaching the baseline, understanding with his teammates, combining, generating danger. And the most important thing for a defender: closing well behind.
From his boots came the 1-0: A great assist after a corner kick that ended up on the head of Aymeric Laporte and, later, in the back of the net. The 2-0 could also come out of his boots, because with his shot inside the rival area caused a penalty that Álvaro Morata later sent to the clouds.
The man from Extremadura was not in the Euro Cup, but now he seems to have found his place. Dani Carvajal will be out for about a month and when he returns he will be almost 34 years old. Jesús Navas announced his retirement from the national team, so the hole in the right-hand side is more than evident. At least until now, since Porro appears as a reliable option that is beginning to establish itself.
