There are not many players from 8 year ago when Spain won the World Cup in South Africa.
However, coach Julen Lopetegui hopes an injection of young players can take Spain to the final stage.
Leaded by steel defender Sergio Ramos 32 year old, Spain goes with a powerful team in Russia: David de Gea (Man United keeper) has incredible saves, and can save Spain on many occasions at World Cup.
With Sergio Ramos and Gerard Pique central defenders, Spain will have strong triangle at the back that will make it very hard for any team to score.
Furthermore, the Spanish team is composed by world class midfielders such as David Silva (Man City), Cesar Azpilicueta (Chelsea centre back defender) and Diego Costa (Atletico Madrid striker).
Ex Barcelona star Andres Iniesta, who scored the winner in the 2010 final against Netherlands, is also selected in the Spain squad.
Finally one of the key players to watch is Thiago, twisted into a star at Bayern Munich.
He’s intelligent and quick on the ball, participates in attack, and clever enough to be endure and permit his colleagues to sweep the pitch and open up for Spain’s quick-pass attack.
