Cristian Tello
On the other hand, VDB may prefer to utilise the searing pace of Cristian Tello down the wing, especially if striking options are limited (as they are currently). Tello has just the one Spanish cap, earned in the friendly win over Ecuador in August, but has been progressing at a steady rate each season, so much so that he’s already played 7 times for Barcelona this season. He also has an eye for goal, having scored 10 La Liga goals in two seasons even with Lionel Messi in the side! If the winger has an equally potent season with plenty of game time then he could ease Jesus Navas out of the squad in time. Navas is an almost identical player to Tello, both with pace to burn, but Navas has never been a consistent goalscorer. Tello’s time will surely come but injuries to a couple of Spanish wingers may halt his World Cup dreams.
