The Spanish national team returns to training after winning the World Cup, Kayode is summoned to the Italian national team, and Trescoldi is hesitant between Italy and Germany.

The Spanish national football team returned to training at the Las Rozas complex on Tuesday, amid a great festive atmosphere after the team won the World Cup title.

The first open training session for the world champions witnessed a large crowd turnout, as dozens of fans gathered hours before the doors of the Las Rozas complex opened, despite the high temperatures.

According to the website of the Spanish newspaper "Marca", Lamine Yamal's shirt remained the most popular among Spanish fans, as the player with the number 19 became a global phenomenon, after winning the World Cup in his first participation in the tournament, and before that the European Nations Cup in his first appearance in the competition.

All 26 players summoned by coach Luis de la Fuente, in addition to the coach himself, received a warm reception from the fans, while Ferran Torres was one of the most prominent names that the fans cheered for before the players arrived on the field.

Torres has a special place among the Spanish fans, after he scored the goal that gave Spain the World Cup title for the second time, when he scored against Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, making his name associated in the fans’ memories with the name of Andres Iniesta, the scorer of the goal that won the World Cup in 2010.

21 world champion players participated in the training, along with five new players: Josep Martinez, Sergio Rico, Diane Huysen, Fermin Lopez and Roberto Fernandez, amid loud cheers from about two thousand fans who were allowed to attend the training.

Before the start of training, the players held an honorary ceremony to celebrate the renewal of the contracts of the entire technical staff, amid a fun atmosphere and the cheers of the fans.

Michael Kayode joined the Italian national team, after coach Roberto Mancini called him up to participate in the first four matches of the European Nations League, which Italy will play between September 25 and October 5.

The Italian team will face Belgium, France and Turkey (in two matches), and this is the first time that the Brentford right defender has been called up to the first team. He spoke during a press conference at the Coverciano training center about the moment he learned that Mancini had called him, saying: “I did not expect to be called up to the national team. All my thoughts were focused on providing a good performance on the field and doing my best, and Mancini’s call-up came as a result of that.” “I did not know about the summons before the Chelsea match, but I found out about it after the match when I checked my phone.”

Kayode finds himself among a young squad for the Italian national team that he knows well, due to his progression through the ranks of the senior national teams. He says, as reported by Sky Sports Italia: “It is wonderful and a great honor to be here. For me, the decision to wear the blue shirt was very easy, as I came through the ranks of the under-18 team and never thought about changing the national team. “The Nigerian side contacted me, but playing for Italy is an honor for any player.”

Speaking about the new era that is beginning to take shape, Kaidoy added: “It pains me to think about Italy’s absence from the World Cup for a long time, but after going through a bad experience, one always tries to start again. “The fans must be calm, as we are here to start a new era.”

Nicolo Trisoldi, the Belgian Club Brugge striker, confirmed that he has not yet decided whether he wants to represent Italy or Germany at the senior national team level, but he revealed that the final decision will most likely be made in the summer of 2027.

Trisoldi (22 years old) was born in the Italian city of Cagliari, but moved to Germany as a teenager, and has since represented Germany at the level of the U-19 and U-21 national teams.

The player has already scored five goals during nine participations in various competitions for the 2026/2027 season, including a goal in the Champions League against the English team Aston Villa.

There were calls in Italy for the young player to be included in Mancini’s squad in preparation for the European Nations League matches against Belgium, Turkey and France in September and October, as many other players with dual nationality were called up to block the interest of other teams in including them, including the likes of Honest Ahanor, Eddy Kouadio, Issa Doumbia and Mohamed Ali Zuma.

However, Trisoldi was ultimately not named in Mancini's squad for the international break, and will instead continue to play for the German Under-21 national team for the time being.

Speaking to Sky in Germany, Tresoldi confirmed his desire to continue playing with the German U-21 team until the end of the European Championship this summer. He also admitted that he is still 50 percent to 50 percent confused about his final decision on whether he will represent Germany or Italy in the future.

Trisoldi told Sky: “My heart is still divided in two. Both countries mean a lot to me.”

He added: “I wear the German shirt with pride, and I love being here. “I still want to participate in the European Championships, and then we will see how things go.”
