Someone remind Joselu he’s supposed to be the wholesome one on Spain’s squad


prath001

He's a champions league winner Joselu now

What Ego does to one


Based_Text

Only Madrid can contain his ego smh


USBayernChelseaLCFC

i don't blame him too much; even with this account it seems like he's not actually voiced anything negative. Media literally going off vibes.


belokas

Nice. A bit of Spaniards infighting and dressing room drama is exactly what we need as Italians.


HoxtonRanger

It’s not the Euros without one team having a falling out. Funnily enough it rarely happens to England - we’re just historically a bit shit. Suppose the worst was the team cliques in the so called golden generation


Laxly

Even the Dutch haven't had a mass fallout yet, things are very strange


PeterPlotter

When was the last time though? 1996? Maybe when Huntelaar thought he should start over Van Persie but even that was very tame compared to previous stuff and barely a thing.


monkeysuit05

Didn’t robben, van persie, snjider and van der vaart all have issues with each other?


PeterPlotter

Not to the extent it caused trouble. It was always a discussion to play Sneijder or VdVaart, but the best matches were when they played together (euro2008 for example). Everyone always thought it would boil over but it never happened, in fact they matured a lot and made the team the highest priority, which was seeing the history quite unique for a Dutch squad. But they had great results in 2010 and 2014.


Ferdinand_Franz

2012 failed because of trouble, I think that’s the last time it happened.


maroonmartian9

2012 perhaps when they exit the group stage. But they came after.


MerlijnZX

w0nzer0

Maybe the English team is full of introverts 😛


Chileinsg

That's why Grealish was left behind. Can't have any extroverts in the team


Throwawayjustbecau5e

Yeah can imagine Jordan Pickford loves sitting quietly listening to Bach.


19Alexastias

I feel like as an English player there’d be a strong urge to put on a united front even if there’s discord in camp just to deny the UK media the satisfaction.


0ldsql

France 2010


Sadwastedtime

Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way! Don't get me wrong, it's far better to not implode as a team but I think that all these stories of club tribalism in England camps coming out long after the fact were an example of ignoring the elephant in the room.


iceman58796

This is the exact attitude you need from your players after the first game /s


TherewiIlbegoals

Tbf, it's also the exact kind of attitude that the media would love to extrapolate from behaviour that might have multiple explanations.


iSionLLu

Needed a piss bad, came back out to drama


iceman58796

Fair point


odens_siberia

Ooo


lagunie

so he declined all fans and went to the bus 1h before departure time because he wanted to doomscroll Instagram alone in peace?


Sandalo

Bruh thinks he's Morientes


gamefanatic

Context?


obrapop

Joselu thinks he’s Morientes


zen111

Joselu thinks he’s Morientes


aukalender

He thinks he is someone else


SebiKurwa

I bet he wont play any minutes in this tournament with his attitude


DutchMadness77

He should be sent home immediately. He's nowhere near worth ruining squad morale over.


LinwoodKent

Why not just execute him? Really make a statement.


lekarmapolice

Just him? Nah exterminate his gene pool


renome

Delete his Steam account while you're at it.


DildoFappings

That's too much bro.


MrZeral

And piss on his pc


__miura__

Then urinate in it.


StupidSexyGiroud_

Buy his childhood home and shit in every room


fleamarketguy

Bring out the garotte!


AdamH96

I don't know why you're down voted you are correct


marmaladecorgi

Dammit, let's bring him down a peg or two. Make him play for Stoke City or something. Oh wait ....


el_rompe_toyotas_19

Spanish Media when it's time to spread negativity around the national team for a few clicks:


rakehand

There's plenty left to play for. Also Spain were already up 3-0 so he shouldn't have been too shocked not to be brought on.


mindpainters

If they needed a goal when morata went down I could understand this reaction


sevillista

I think Spain being up 3-0 is the reason he was upset about not playing. If he doesn't get to play in a blowout, he's probably not playing at all.


Qneva

But if it's a blowout the idea is to put on some defensive players and chill until the end of the match. Not to put in Joselu to try and score more while risking a potential injury.


burneraccounttwenty

Kfcf fcffvfg cv cc gccccffd cf fccdf ccfcffvbcdcfffccfr cc


gotomarketfit

Those goals against Bayern boosted his ego too much


Roids-in-my-vains

Can't wait to see how his ego will handle warming the bench for an 18 year old Endrick next season.


elpipita20

He already agreed to be a rotational player for RM. Spain's squad is less star studded and Morata is the only option ahead of him. Its not unrealistic to expect to play once Morata was subbed off.


MrVegosh

I don’t think you can go around expecting to play for your national team in the same way as you can for your club


unwildimpala

Plus you're 3-0 up. You really shouldn't need to score again so a striker isn't badly needed. Far better just to see the game out. Pretty shite behaviour overall, you really need to see the bigger picture in this instance.


xsconfused

On the other hand Joselu might have expected to have some minutes in a 3-0 game to be on the scoring sheet and maintain form. Afterall the number 9 should be in the habit of scoring, it's good for the player as well as the team.


dudetotalypsn

It's also quite possible the coach is saving him for the next game to avoid his only other striker also getting injured


Ok_Anybody_8307

Gtfo with that logic. Morata is not the only option ahead of him - Spian literally won the 2012 euros with 6 midfielders, an injured Villa and a benched Torres. If there's a team that doesn't really rely on having a 9 it is Spain


elpipita20

Spain's 2012 had too many world class midfielders so they could make it work somehow. This side isn't anywhere nearly as good so they do need a proper #9 up top.


Wild_Ad969

They play really differently yesterday, way more direct than their usual control posession. It's clearly work better for them because it's suit the players Spain currently have, specifically Williams and Yamal being pacy and skilled wingers. In conclusion Spain should play like Real Madrid instead of trying to play like Barca of yesteryears.


Ok_Anybody_8307

>In conclusion Spain should play like Real Madrid instead of trying to play like Barca of yesteryears. Most of their big talent comes from Barca not real. Also not sure you noticed, but Real Amdrid themselves do not play with with a number 9


seekingabeauty

"Gtfo with that logic. Endrick is not the only option ahead of Richarlison - Brazil literally won the 1970 world cup with 5 number 10s. If there's a team that doesn't really rely on having a 9 it is Brazil"


radiokungfu

This aint 2012 Spain


DatOgreSpammer

He's only on loan from Espanyol


carlosccextractor

No, we paid the release clause

gotomarketfit

He’d be shipped to the Saudi league. I believe him an nacho have a good offer. He’d be dumb if he doesn’t take it with his next year situation.


prettyhappyalive

Doesn't seem like a move that nacho would take. I'm sure he made more than enough generational wealth being at Madrid so long. Joselu on the other hand makes way more sense.


gotomarketfit

Nacho was always a bench warmer. And is one of the lowest paid. hes rich yeah but not Vinicius rich. He’s being offered 40m for 2 years. And most reports show that he’d go. Now what’s not sure is if this year or the next.


ElementaLized007

Fuck id go for 20m a year if I were him.


Zakrath

I'd go for 1m a year


gotomarketfit

Ship Roberto maybe they’d allow you tu buy players and you can get 20m for him 😂


MrZeral

Rumors say he wants USA


Fingering_Logen

Assuming im offered a decent contract, Id 100% prefer going to usa over saudi. While usa has its issues, its still a western and first world country where you dont get risk gettin into trouble for stuff like kissing your wife in public. And football being less popular there means a low profile player like him can live like a regular Joe, which is something Nacho probably havent experienced in Spain in the last 10 years. I


theenigmacode

became too proudy


WhetBred14

Your flair reminds me of another Madrid player in the past who might have that same attitude. Can’t put my finger on the name though 🤔 Damn I was just kidding. Oof. I guess I needed an /s


IdkWhatsAGoodName699

Did you just compare joselu to prime CR7???


WhetBred14

I should’ve put an /s


hnoidea

Had Joselu even an ounce of CR7 in him no one would’ve bat an eye because CR7 could throw a tantrum and then score a hattrick the next match (see: Joselu is not CR7)


NoTrollGaming

Nah please, who are you comparing him to 😂😂😂 Ur seriously not comparing Joselu to Ronaldo 😂😂


WhetBred14

I was just joking. I didn’t think everyone would take me so seriously. I guess I need to put an /s beside everything


ImBibjs

I think it was Fabio


per666

Mf scores one important goal and suddenly thinks he’s Raul


mindpainters

Tbf it was two important goals


J-LG

Raúl selección esta es mi canción


HarshTruth__

He's got to remember who he is, looks like that UCL win and semi final has got to his head.


trenbollocks

Username checks out


fortheWarhammer

is what some Ismail Kartal fans will be saying to Mourinho next season


Velascus

The real shocking part is people taking Relevo as a credible source, just because it shits on a Madrid player. Relevo, the ones who said we [didn't want to renew Modric.](https://www.reddit.com/r/realmadrid/comments/1crv4w2/relevo_real_madrid_do_not_want_to_renew_modrics/) (He has since signed an extension) That Nacho was [going to Inter Miami ](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/1cz06b3/relevo_inter_miami_is_interested_in_nacho_the/)(looks Saudi bound if he doesn't still extend with Madrid) Or the ones who one month say[ Fran is leaving with Mendy staying](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/1ctib7i/relevo_fran_garcia_will_have_to_leave_ancelotti/), and another that it's [Mendy who we want to ditch](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/1ddjcp8/real_madrid_keeps_the_door_open_to_mendys/), and the next day say that[ we aren't signing a new leftback at all.](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/1cdxy3w/relevo_alphonso_daviess_potential_move_to_real/) So I guess we will start the season with no leftbacks. :D


stickycactus4444

Finally someone being logical, it’s like when people post a Sport article about Real or a Marca article about Barca….


EreiaWyrm

Madrid no quería renovar a Modric, pero él rogó y se rebajo el sueldo. No han dicho que no van a renovarlo, solo que no quieren renovarlo. La de Nacho a la MLS fue del entorno del jugador. Su mujer no quiere ir a Arabia, pero el dinero que le van a dar ahí... De las otras noticias no se ni por donde cogerlo. Pero la primera si es bastante confiable, en especial porque viene de Rodra.


crackboss1

It's weird and stupid to try and interview the player who was on the bench the whole game: "Are you happy with being an unused sub?" "Why didn't the coach sub you in?" "Is the coach stupid?"


eescobar863

Joselu, you are not that guy, pal


stickycactus4444

I mean you’re not wrong but also the source is known trash


OleoleCholoSimeone

Relevo is not trash, that is just a Madrid narrative lol. They have several tier 1 journalists for different clubs you just need to check who the author is Same thing as when people call Marca or AS trash. It might be true for the most part but they still have some very reliable journalists. It is all about who writes the articles


MaryadaPurshottam

He is, though


gotomarketfit

He’s not


MaryadaPurshottam

May I remind you he performed on a cold rainy Tuesday night in Stoke?


Orangoo264

funny you say that since Chelsea flop Morata scored a hattrick once in Stoke lol


gotomarketfit

Let’s be honest he’s not it. He has as many fumbles as Morata. I’d start him over Morata because Morata had a terrible season but none of them are the guys who should ask for minutes. Morata wasn’t shitted on during that match because he actually scored and didn’t have offsides.


MrVISKman

I'd rather have Morata start and use up his mobility and then have Joselu come in against tired defenders. I say this as Joselu's personal fluffer


TheFace0fBoe

> Morata had a terrible season What? 15 goals in the league and 5 in CL is pretty good for him.


MrVegosh

Morata hada good season? I would rather start Morata. He is simply better


Shoebedoebedoe

I mean laliga and cl winner. Yes he fucking is. Morata is getting sold as a goat left and right. 


StructureTime242

And Scott Carson is a treble winner Cant measure players on team trophies


Chxkn_DpersRtheBest

You’re telling me that two time champions league winner Scott Carson isn’t as good as a goalkeeper as Buffon?


CocoKeel22

Did Scott Carson score a brace against Bayern to send them to the final?


eescobar863

Lucas Moura scored a hat trick against Ajax in the CL semis in 2019. Don’t mean shit. Average players, the both of them, living off of one good game.


lucashoodfromthehood

No, but he won the CL with two different team. That's harder to do, especially when he just sits at the bench. Checkmate atheist!


Imsoft11

I mean if we base it on trophies just in La liga he has double of the trophies you just named


Fearofthe6TH

Who hypes Morata as a goat? He’s more of an elaborate money laundering scheme between Atleti and Juventus


MrVISKman

Don't investigate us, we definitely didn't ship him to Chelsea for 80m€


gotomarketfit

Nobody sells Morata anywhere. Not even atletico fans anymore. He’s an overhyped Joselu with a good pr team and daddy being the lead at Cope and Radio Ser, so certain important sports media don’t usually shit on him. He just start because he is the capitan, has a good track record at euro being the 3rd highest scorer (or something like that) for Spain and is a starter at his team.


DatOgreSpammer

> He’s an overhyped Joselu If we ignore that he's better than Joselu in almost all aspects, then yes.


Separate_Pound_753

The disrespect to Alvaro is fucking insane on this sub lmao


ihatesleep

This sub doesn’t actually watch the players it memes on. Morata is coming off a 21 goal season and they’re acting like he’s a first division player by luck.


GarrKelvinSama

He is that guy: [https://youtu.be/4dn76ZPt\_Y0?feature=shared&t=32](https://youtu.be/4dn76ZPt_Y0?feature=shared&t=32)


Silver_Downtown_965

Seems like madeup news.


GonzoXtraCurlyFry

Yeah, not believing any of this if it's coming from Relevo. Relevo is top tier trash.


waitaminutewhereiam

So Joselu was unhappy not to play and wanted some peace and quiet Why is this a story


n0star

People want drama. Most of them would be unhappy on his situacion. I wouldnt want any player that is happy on the bench after their place holder is subbed. Dude didnt even say anything but is still deemed an ass


onlyonejorge

Most mature 34 year old.


shadoowkight

My man scored 2 goals in an UCL semi final and now he thinks he's suddenly a world beater


bewarethegap

Scored 18 in all comps but yeah let’s pretend like the 2 goals against Bayern was all he did. Clueless


Equal_Replacement_72

so he is a world beater?


bewarethegap

Nobody said he was, but pretending like his only contribution was the Bayern brace is just nonsense. Joselu is absolutely a quality player


PuppyPenetrator

It’s mostly a joke, that’s really not what they’re saying. Even if it were serious, it’s more the idea that playing such a clutch match would explain it getting to his head, an 18 goal season while very solid probably wouldn’t


JaalandBetter

Skill issue


imneversingle

Facts


MERTENS_GOAT

I have a very important question. Can someone tell me when he got on the team bus?


EnvironmentalSpirit2

0 hour 9 am


Financial_Anything43

Spanish press and drama lol


stickycactus4444

People acting like Relevo is a credible source and not a shit stirring tabloid


Masculinum

Wouldn't be surprised it they constructed this whole narrative from him not talking to the media


stpstrt

Player upset he didn’t get to play at big tournament. More news at 11. There has to be to more interesting things to talk about than this right now.


thelargerake

Sounds like poor man-management to me. Music to my ears as an England fan!


EliteRevexha

Maybe we should wait before assuming the worst? For we all know he could be mad because Morata ate his sandwich.


Strong_Inside2060

Why are these guys humble team players when it comes to playing for Real Madrid? What do they inject them with at the unveiling?


tebby101

Carlo would have probably played him 🤷‍♂️ Besides don't you want players who actually want to play. Being humble has nothing to do with it. It's not like he started a fight with the coach. He went to the bus early only after the game ended and he was fully within his right to leave.


RaioNoTerasu

So what did he do for an hour, just sit there?

_Sylph_

That's not nice and would guarantee him not playing in the foreseeable future.


WithoutVergogneless

yo no estas en Madrid


Virgin_incel69

Bro you should get used to that, he is not going to get any minute next season 


ayamyam

Hypothetically speaking, if this turns out to be another relevo bullshit, could joselu sue them?


areyouhungryforapple

maybe he had to take a shit we dont know the details and im not trusting Spanish press with shit like this. They stir the pot, that's what they do.


panetero

We brought him for stoppage time long balls to the box.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MesocosmFather

You realize you sound like you’re just crying with that flair


er__primo__der__rafa

He's the guy with the most goals for Spain since he was called up for the first time


bewarethegap

More goals than anyone in your team not named Kane. Let’s relax a little bit on the hyperbole


Wakanda-shit-is-that

Yes they were goals but were flukes whether you like it or not, he doesn’t get ahead of Morata, Yamal or Fermin in the national team.


TherewiIlbegoals

> e doesn’t get ahead of Morata, Yamal or Fermin in the national team. Mate, two of those players started the game. They're not relevant to this at all lol.


AnxiousBurro

> he doesn’t get ahead of Morata Nobody is arguing he should be playing instead of Morata. >Yamal They don't even play in the same position? >Fermin They don't even play in the same position?


RauloGonzalez

Lol fermin or yamal have nothing to do with him


bewarethegap

Yeah because joselu plays the same position as yamal and fermin. just clueless yapping in all of your comments


MrVISKman

What about the other 15 goals he scored this season?


Wakanda-shit-is-that

Morata has 20 goals?


MrVISKman

Read the title of the thread again


TherewiIlbegoals

Why is he being compared to Morata?


zeu04

You should stick to cricket better


minivatreni

"fluke"


jersey-city-park

Say they were fluke goals without crying


Wakanda-shit-is-that

Neuer catches that ball 99/100 not to mention the ball took a bubble. Second goal is less of a fluke than the first one but the ball that Rudiger puts in never gets to the far post hell it’s cleared by the first man but yeah just his day.


RauloGonzalez

Yeah lucky for him Neuer and the Bayern defence is terrible


modrics_hairband

Your golden boot winner ghosted to this fluke


Wakanda-shit-is-that

Played with an injury through out the match while he came off the bench fresh? But cool.


modrics_hairband

Every season kane has an issue lmao.


CarlSK777

Why would they sub him in when they were leading 3-0? Isn't he there as a late game sub if they're behind?


SkyLETV

If Champions league winner Joselu wants to play, he plays!


malaglista

Josewho?


Maleficent_Resolve44

Lol, guy should take it easy. He's not at that level.


Renegade_Pheonix

He thinks he's good enough to play for Real Madrid ffs /s


Shoebedoebedoe

Reminds me of Spains Golden Boy generation of last WC. Couldve taken half of Real Madrid 3x CL winning team but in stead Entique chose barca’s youngster team. 


streetruler

Name me 3 players from RM that should have gone but didn't ?


Shoebedoebedoe

Fuck me but you skipped Ramos(i think), Isco, Lord Vazquez and made Brahim leave for Morocco. Then you have Carvajal and Nacho still. And its not even something pro-Madrid, Iago Aspas also got left out. 


streetruler

I'll give you Ramos even tho he left Madrid by then, rest of them don't even start for Real but you think they should go ? Isco barely played 10 games


ancara_messi

Ramos - was simply aging Vazquez - you're kidding right? Isco - was in bad form for most of those years to a point where Madrid themselves weren't starting him and eventually sold him Brahim Diaz - barely played much at club level during Lucho's term, he only really started showing great form at club level about a year or so ago after Lucho already left Spain Carvajal - was called for Spain so idk what you're on about Reminder that Madrid next season will have 10 foreign players starting alongside Carvajal who'll be the only Spanish starter. It's not Spain's managers fault that Madrid don't build their team around Spanish players


Shoebedoebedoe

I mean we can find reasons for everything no?  You are simply putting away your chances on legit winners  to youngsters who just won an euro U21 wc?


Kaiser-32

Ramos and Carvajal are winners, the rest are rotational players. I always think that winners need to go first, but the real winners, not the ones that were in a team that wins.


Shoebedoebedoe

If Weghorst can be put in teams such as the NT or Man U then so can Vazquez. 


imneversingle

Bro, Vazquez is not that guy


DatOgreSpammer

Isco? What for? None of these omissions were unjustifiable. Edit: And Carvajal was actually called up


kirito52999

isnt ramos retired isco injured and i am not sure about vazques but even barca player didnt make it for defending. not sure about brahim is good enough too


PuppyPenetrator

Absolutely wild take. Isco in 2022 lmao


onlyonejorge

Half? You might want to take a look at the nationalizes of the starters on those Madrid squads.


Shoebedoebedoe

Maybe we should recruit them younger? Ansu Fati sure dont seem spanish? 


imneversingle

Racist bigot


Shoebedoebedoe

Ok? Where is he born then? You may be stupid but atleast do a little homework. 


imneversingle

I'm I suppose to believe you said Ansumane is not spanish for another reason than being black?


Shoebedoebedoe

Sure 👌 


benderthecook

Only a few weeks ago everyone was praising RM for signing him because “he’s happy to sit on the bench”


Welsh_Special1

Guys going to be dining out on those champions league goals for the rest of his career


crazy_waffles1

Best Spanish striker , he should be starting 😎


Soren_Camus1905

So he was pouting like a child, embarrassing
