Vicente del Bosque omits Raul, calls up Guiza
Spain coach Vicente del Bosque was once again forced to defend and explain his decision to call up Guiza and omit Raul from the national team for the upcoming World Cup qualifying double-header against Turkey. «Some of the reaction I got after announcing the squad really took me by surprise because of all the commotion. Some said I was brave but others said I was a coward. But I believe I am neither one nor the other. My obligation is to take decisions that are for the good of our squad. Guiza was selected for his football values because he is someone who complements better players like Fernando Torres or Fernando Llorente,» he said, Goal.com reports.
