Robert Moreno has ahead of him the difficult mission of finding a partner for Ramos, just behind him in the middle, and for Busquets, in the middle. The problem lies not in the lack of candidates, but in the number of them.

Robert Moreno's new trials and test players must come to and end soon in the Spanish National Team. After this call, Robert Moreno will only have two more before the moment of truth, which will be the beginning of the Euro's.

There are two gaps that seem essential to fill now. Either because he hasn't found anyone his taste, or because he has new ideas, the defence and the middle are the key.

Two men seem fixed on this list. To start at the back, Sergio Ramos will remain the team's captain. What is not so clear is who his partner at the back will be.

Pique's gap is big and Albiol, Nacho, Llorente, Íñigo Martínez, Bartra y Hermoso have all tried to fill it. What's more, it will now be Diego Llorente and Pau Torres' turn.

Th eother key absence that needs filling is together with Busquets. Bearing in mind that Koke seems to have lost force and that Isco is lacking in minutes, the place opens up for somebody.

Rodri will be the key subsitute from Barcelona, but not his team-mate. For this role, Ceballos, Sarabia and even Fabián will appear. All of them have demonstrated an amazing level of football at this beginning of the course, without forgetting Saúl.

While Robert Moreno finishes with the tests, the only thing for sure is that Spain need to win both matches to close their passage to the Euro's once and for all.
