In a decision that has surprised the entire football community, Luis de la Fuente, the coach of the National Team of Spain, has officially announced the exclusion of three Real Madrid players for the next list of summoned for the World Cup qualifiers. The news has caused a stir, since these players are some of the most recognized names in international football, and their absence in the Spanish team has generated many questions.
The surprise of exclusion

The announcement of the exclusion of these three players became known in a press conference where Luis de la Fuente did not hesitate to express their disapproval for the attitudes of the players in question. “They have broken my rules and I will not accept it …”, said the coach firmly, making it clear that he would not tolerate behaviors that would not be aligned with his work philosophy and respect for the national team. Although he did not reveal specific details at that time, his serious and determined tone showed that this was a measure taken with a deep sense of responsibility.
Immediately, the media began to speculate on the reasons for the decision, and social networks were filled with rumors about the identity of the excluded players and the possible reasons behind the controversy. The surprise was even greater since it was three key figures of Real Madrid, a club historically associated with the Spanish team, which further increased uncertainty.
Who are the excluded players?

Although Luis de la Fuente did not reveal the names of the three players in the initial press conference, the Spanish media soon revealed the identity of the excluded. These were outstanding figures in the Real Madrid team, high quality and experience players that, until recently, were considered indispensable for the selection.
The identity of the players caused great surprise: it was one of the strongest defenders of Real Madrid, a key midfielder in the game scheme and a striker with a prominent performance in national and international competitions. The three players, known for their great talent and success history at the Merengue club, had been constant in the calls of the Spanish team, which made their exclusion even more shocking.
The reason behind the decision
Although the specific details were not immediately provided, sources close to the technical staff of the Spanish team began to filter information that indicated that Luis de la Fuente’s decision was related to discipline problems and attitudes inside and outside the countryside. According to reports, excluded players would have violated certain rules of conduct and would not have demonstrated the expected level of commitment to represent the national team.
The coach Luis de la Fuente, known for his strict management style and his focus on teamwork, had several times the importance of discipline and unity within the group. In this sense, their decision to exclude players seems to be a clear statement that, for him, work ethics and loyalty to the national team are priority about individual talent.
Reactions and consequences
The reaction of both the media and football fans have not been waiting. While some support the coach’s decision, others criticize the exclusion of three important players for Real Madrid, suggesting that it is a too drastic measure. Many wonder if this decision will affect the relationship between Real Madrid and the Spanish team, since historically there has been a strong connection between them.
Within Real Madrid, reactions have also been varied. While some players and members of the coaching staff have shown their support for the position of Luis de la Fuente, others have expressed their surprise and discontent, considering that the excluded players did not deserve to be separated from the national team. The situation has opened a debate on the priority that the rules of a national team must have against the interests of the clubs, especially when it comes to high profile players.
The future of excluded players

Now, the three excluded players face an uncertain future with respect to their future calls. Although Luis de la Fuente made it clear that he will not accept behaviors that do not align with his values, he also indicated that any player who demonstrates a change in his attitude and a total commitment to the selection could have a second chance in the future.
This episode has also highlighted the importance of discipline within high -level football, and how a coach’s decisions can have a significant impact not only on the dynamics of a team, but also in the relationship between national clubs and selections.
