Maldini 'dresses up' as De La Fuente: his World Cup roster with 3 Madridists

The international break has brought with it the drafts of multiple countries that will fight for a place in the World Cup. Although there is still a long time before this tournament begins, Maldini shared what would be his squad for the World Cup. His list especially highlights the presence of Dani Carvajal, Dean Huijsen, and Álvaro Carreras.

Three Real Madrid players who, in his opinion, deserve a place in the Spanish national team due to their outstanding level. Carvajal, in particular, is a surprise because of the serious injury he suffered last season. Surrounded by doubts about the level he would have upon his return, the right-back has managed to keep his excellent performance.

Huijsen and Carreras, two of the signings Real Madrid made this summer, have exceeded all expectations. Along with these three players, Maldini also named Rodri, Cucurella, Unai Simón, Álvaro Morata, and Rodri. Without a doubt, Spain has a more than talented squad and enough to win the second World Cup in its history.

Maldini's drafts

At 33 years old, Dani Carvajal continues to keep himself as one of the most important players at Real Madrid. Chosen as first captain for this season, the full-back keeps showing his talent, but above all, his strong character on the field. Fundamental for winning the Euro Cup in 2024, Carvajal can't miss the World Cup.

Meanwhile, Dean Huijsen is establishing himself as the new leader of Real Madrid's backline. After several seasons with multiple injuries in defense, Huijsen has brought stability to the position. At just 20 years old, the young center-back is set to become one of the best in his position in the near future.

Last but not least, Álvaro Carreras is one of the surprises of the season. At 22 years old, Carreras has taken over the left-back position despite the outstanding level of Fran García and the imminent return of Ferland Mendy. According to what we know at Defensa Central, Xabi has been impressed with a player he already considers indispensable.

Spain's main goal

Maldini's drafts show the outstanding level Real Madrid has in its squad. In addition to the Spaniards, the club has players who are considered among the best in their positions. However, with Carvajal, Huijsen, and Carreras, Spain is the clear favorite to win the World Cup against the other national teams.
