Alright, Paul, thank you so much.
I mean, basically, because they've been possibly the best national team in Europe over the past few years, I think that there's hardly any other team with the talent and the role distribution that Spain have.
And that makes them big favourites.
I think that if you look at the last Euros, how they basically overplayed any opponent that they faced.
And the fact that this is just the same generation with all the roles reinforced and players even better, such as
Laminia Mar or even Pedri.
I think that there's reasons to be optimistic with this Spain side and the mood around the camp at La Roza right now is really, really good and they really believe that this team can do something special.
So basically, over the last few days, Luis de la Fuente, the Spain national manager, has been quite optimistic with La Minamala as in he's progressing really well.
I'm not sure that he's going to be well-liked at Barcelona because Barcelona expect him to miss 100% the first game, the opener.
That's what people close to La Minamala were expecting too.
But de la Fuente has been saying that he looks really, really good and that he might be ready for the first game.
If not, he's going to be ready for the second game.
So looking at the state of things, I think that being cautious, possibly Spain will start him on the bench on the first game.
And if he's not needed, he won't be playing possibly against Cape Verde.
But then in the second game, if he's needed, I mean, Jamal really wants to play that World Cup.
It's been a target for him since the start of the season.
In the last Euros, two years ago, it's when his player profile made basically a boom.
It was boosted worldwide.
And he's in that World Cup when he arrives as one of the faces of the competition.
Just another chance to prove him at the big stage.
