Spain Daily Update–Maradona Supports La Furia, Cazorla, Why No Bojan?

Maradona Supports La Furia

I find the normal Spanish dailies to be rather comical, as they are constantly trying to dig up any sort of material on the Spanish national team since the end of the La Liga season.

Today, in Marca Spain apparently gained the support of in my opinion, the best player in football history. Diego Maradona.

Maradona, speaking at the Cannes film festival, said ‘I will support Spain with all my heart.’

Who is Cazorla?

I have to admit, when I saw the list of Luis Aragones I was surprised with the ’signing’ of Cazorla to the roster. I was originally upset to not see Bojan, but understand why.

Cazorla was a huge signing to the squad, since he is currently uncapped in the Spanish squad. This year he played 35 games and scored 5 goals.

Marca has him listed as a midfielder, but I know he has played forward with Villarreal. That would be his best bet to see any sort of time in the Eurocup, since he would be playing behind Dani Güiza, Torres, Sergio Garcia and David Villa.

In an article on the reliable (cough cough) Goal.com, Cazorla gives the credit for his call-up to Villarreal, saying “Luis has noticed that Villarreal have had a great season. Three of us are coming from there and it is a credit to the club,”

Now, some people are wondering why Bojan didn’t make the trip. Bojan actually asked himself to be left out of the lineup, citing fatigue.

I’m thinking it may be a bit more though. From the get-go of the season Bojan has been followed so closely and his every move scrutinized. For the almost 18 year old (August 28, only one day before my birthday) to get out on a national stage, especially in the European Championship, it would be quite the experience, but both in a positive and in a negative way.

For all of the hype he’s received this season, he still is a kid, anyway we look at it. For a kid to have that type of pressure on him at such a young age, there are some serious consequences.

What does everyone else think? Should Bojan have made the trip? Or is it a good thing to stay
