CEsc Fábregascoach of how, explained yesterday the interior storm in which he lives Assane Diao. Its extreme is one of the sensations of series A, one of the players with the greatest development in a league in which to stand out with 19 years is many more exceptional than in others. “You have to choose, it is difficult, but also beautiful because it deserves it. You must manage this mentally,” said Cesc after 4-1 to Udinese.

After those words, the situation facing this week is hidden by the former Betis player. Senegal wants to count on him for the absolute, based on his birthplace: Socialize, September 7, 2005. On the other hand, Saints denia He has it in his plans for the Sub-21 team, since Diao has been part of the lower categories of Spain since in April 2023 he was given way in the U18. In Las Rozas they have Assane Diaobut without haste or rainfall.

It is not an isolated case. Several players from the lower categories of the Spanish team receive calls from the countries where their roots are located. It is a phenomenon linked to demographic change that affects many selections: Spain, France, GermaniA with the Turkish population, among others. From the Spanish Federation The established position is maintained long ago: Provide the player with all the information and support necessary to understand that he has him, but without implying the door of the absolute every time he receives an offer. Diao He knows that Spain has him, and the decision is in his hands and in his surroundings.

The jump from the sub 21 to the absolute is the decisive one, although FIFA has relaxed the norms on the change of nationality. In Las Rozas They are aware of the potential that the striker has of how, but in no case is it considered a case similar to that of Lamine Yamal. With the end of Barcelona, ​​it was understood that the risk of losing a player with world star potential was too high. Therefore, in August 2023, Francis Hernández, Then responsible for the lower categories, he traveled to Barcelona to ensure the commitment of a boy who had just turned 16.

Con Assane Diao sAnd it is clear that it has potential to reach the absolute, but fulfilling stages that are not intended to jump before the appearance of Senegal. Spain has in that position Nico Williams and Lamine Yamaltwo world impact players. Behind them players in what of the source believes blind: Ferran, Yeremi Pino, Los Bryan (Zaragoza and Gil) And it is even expected to see if the reaction of Asensio in it Aston Villa It is consolidated. Therefore, know in another many cases in the lower ones, it will be the player who decides the way to follow in his career.

With whom there is no doubt is with Dean Huijsen. The central of the Bournemouth He resigned from the Dutch team to play with Spain. All the attempts of the Oranje, with which he played in the Sub 17 and the Sub 18, to avoid their commitment to Spain, met the player's refusal. In Las Rozas, he is considered one of the best centrals in the world in the coming years. Friday has many ballots to enter the list of Of the source For double duel against Netherlands in the Nations Leaguand. But, even if it is not summoned, its decision is made: Huijsen is the future of Spain. And almost the present.

The same happens with Get Aghehwam, The striker of Port. Although its performance has dropped and its presence in the Friday list is not guaranteed, it is considered an important asset for the selection for the immediate future, a striker who can contribute variants other than those owned by the team of Of the source.

A review of the lower categories of the Spanish team is enough to check the number of players that, sooner or later, will have to choose between two or even more options when the time is to make the leap to the absolute. At that point, they face a funnel that tests its maturity, its patience and its willingness to wait for an opportunity in a selection as demanding as the Spanish. In the coming months, not only will we talk about Assane the Your decision. The experience of what lived with Munir in 2014 is jurisprudence In Las Rozas. But also for players to analyze what happened.
