With Luis Enrique in the bench of the Spanish Selection, is clear that Sergi Roberto will have from now of a lot of more opportunities to go summoned with the combined national, and the first opportunity has arrived him already this week with reason of the stop of selections, in which Spain will play two friendly parties in front of England and Croatia.

In statements conceded in press conference, Sergi Roberto has showed happy to form part of the group, although it seems him odd, as it is natural, that so only have been summoned two players of the FC Barcelona"We are alone two, is the decision of the trainer", has signalled, after Luis Enrique have decided not summoning to Jordi Alba.

"I personally am happy to be here, is odd that only are two of the Barcelona but has given this situation and expect that in a future there is more, because it always is well have footballers in the Selection". With Julen Lopetegui, Sergi Roberto was not summoned to go to the World-wide of Russia 2018, but said option if it has arrived him with Luis Enrique.

"In the summer wanted to go to the World-wide, thought that had done a good season to be here and had a lot of illusion, but at the end the decision of the trainer was to call to other players and respected it. Now I am very happy for going back to the Selection, very ilusionado and with win to play these parties", has remarked the Barcelona player.

With fewer players of the Barça in the Selection

Sergi Roberto has not wanted to throw firewood to the fire on the no-announcement of Jordi Alba. "The decision of Jordi of not being here is of the seleccionador that is the one who decides that players call. In this case Jordi has not been summoned but is a very important player, is calm, will follow working in his club and if at the end it arrives him the call of Luis Enrique will be happy".

Andrés Iniesta and Gerard Hammered, on the other hand, took the decision to hang the boots of the Spanish Selection, something totally respectable for the canterano Barcelona. "They have opted for withdrawing some, as Andrés because they no longer play here and has gone to Japan. It is a very respected decision of some players that have been very important in the Selection".

It will be necessary to see, of face to these next friendly parties of selections, if Sergi Roberto is or not titling in the team of Luis Enrique, was in the centre of the field or in the right side, where will have the férrea competition of Dani Carvajal.
