Former Real Madrid striker, Fernando Morientes, believes that the main man for Spain's attack has to be Alvaro Morata. The Juventus striker has proved since he arrived to the Italian club, that he has exactly what it takes to become the best in his position in order to help Spain gain back their lost momentum from past years. To the also former Spain striker, Del Bosque need to trust in Morata a little bit more. But Morientes doesn't forget about all the competition Morata has, especially old man Aritz Aduriz.
Talking to Omnisport, Morientes said: "I think that in terms of characteristics right now, Morata is one of the clear candidates for the number nine position. For the players he has around him as well. He's a penalty area player who plays well high up the pitch. He's a goalscorer and a complete player. And apart from that he's a player you can use out wide. He's very quick and he can go past players. For me, he's the most important player in attack for the national team.
"But we can't forget Aduriz, a player who's having an exceptional season. Alcacer is another player with very special characteristics inside the box. And Diego Costa, apart from all the other good things he has, is very important as well with his ambition and his personality. It's very important to have that in a team too."
About the Casillas to De Gea transition on goal, Morientes said: "Whoever plays of the two will give a lot of solidity to the national team. One [De Gea] has the youth and talent of someone who's being called one of the best goalkeepers in the world right now and the other [Casillas] has the experience of the huge challenges he's already faced with the national team. The two European Championships he won, the World Cup, having played with Real Madrid for so many years. That gives Iker an authority that not many goalkeepers have on the world stage."
