Spain's european tour is over, but there are still many questions left for Enrique to ponder. Busquets, Alba and Azpilicueta are old and strong, and the rising star Pedri shines, which is the joy of the Matador Legion. Before the Start of the European Championship, Enrique brought with him seven attackers, Morata, Ferran Torres, Olmo, Oyazavar, Hlard Moreno, Saravia and Adama Traore, and in the European Cup, Enrique wanted to give himself as much choice as possible in the front. In order to develop the corresponding tactics for different opponents, Enrique took a lot of thought, except for Adama Traore, who played too risky, the other six attackers were entrusted by Enrique at different stages of this cup. Among these attackers in Spain, there is a player who has a special experience, who debuted in the Barca youth training and has a very different career trajectory from most Spanish players, but this has not affected his ability to play for the country. Dani Olmo, through his stable performance in this European Championship, Olmo,000, who has a very special career experience, has become more and more stable in the Spanish national team, and it is foreseeable that this very technical and capable attacker will become an important figure in the attacking line of the Matador Legion in the future.
Spain lacks some good centre-forwards, but there is no shortage of good players in the positions of wingers, wingers and two forwards. Spanish football thrives on the technical Iniesta and Silva, as well as Villa, who excels at taking the ball in the front of the penalty area, where tactics require skilled and creative players to create scoring opportunities for the team, Asensio, Aspens, Suso, Canales, Isco, Bryce Mendes, Injachi Williams... In fact, today's Spanish team still has a lot of good options in this area. In this European Championship, Enrique chose to trust Olmo, Ferran Torres, Oyazavar and Salavia, although he failed to score goals, Olmo contributed 3 assists in 5 appearances of this European Championship, which is one of the best performers in Spain, especially in the quarter-final battle between Spain and Croatia, Olmo delivered two assists after the 71st minute, becoming a contributor to Spain's promotion.
Like many Spanish offensive adepts, Olmo became famous at a young age. It is said that when he first joined Barca's youth academy, the club originally intended to develop him as a Guardiola-style Number 4 player, but as Olmo's talent in attack became more and more obvious, his position gradually moved forward. Olmo was captain during barca's youth training and a key figure in the attacking line, but in the summer of 2014 there was an event that changed Olmo's career, as part of Halilovic's deal with Barca, the 16-year-old Olmo joined Croatian club Dinamo Zagreb.
Fortunately, Olmo's growth did not stop in an unfamiliar environment, he entered the first team of Dinamo Zagreb and put on the team's number 7 shirt. Olmo's performance in Croatia has been well received, and he has not only attracted the attention of many European clubs, but also once rumored that he may join the Croatian national team. However, Olmo's experience in the Spanish national team is also relatively smooth, in November 2019, in the European Championship qualifiers between Spain and Malta, the 21-year-old Olmo made his debut for the Spanish national team, becoming the first Spanish international who has not played in the Spanish league, and just 3 minutes after the substitute debut, Olmo received a direct ball from his teammate and single-handedly broke through the goal, Olmo won a start for his national team career.
When Olmo played well in the national team and Croatian league, his next stop became a hot topic in the transfer market, Barca, Bayern, Real Madrid, Paris, Atletico, Manchester United, AC Milan, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Ajax... Olmo could not stay in the Croatian league for long, and his rumors with the major clubs were almost all over the world, and finally Olmo once again made a somewhat unexpected choice, he did not return to La Liga, nor joined a traditional club, but became a member of the Bundesliga upstart RB Leipzig in early 2020. According to the then Dinamo Zagreb coach Bjlitsa revealed that Leipzig is not the team with the highest offer, the main reason why Olmo chose Leipzig is that the team can participate in the Champions League, and the team building plan is more suitable for young players, at the age of 22, Olmo needs enough playing opportunities to ensure that he can grow up smoothly, and the old club Dinamo Zagreb even made a documentary for Olmo to send off the team.
In the 2020-21 season, Olmo made 46 appearances for Leipzig, contributing seven goals and 11 assists, and he continued to show his distinctive talent in the Bundesliga. In April this year, Olmo mentioned in an interview why he chose to leave the famous La Masia that year, because the pressure to play at Barca was too great, and Olmo wanted to play more, and in Croatia, he would have more opportunities to play, so Olmo resolutely accepted Dinamo Zagreb's offer.
In the second transfer of his player career, Olmo still did not choose the most famous or the most quoted club, in RB Leipzig, Olmo has more dominance on the offensive end, and in the Spanish national team, Olmo is also deeply trusted by Enrique, and he and Felan Torres have always been the main choices on the Spanish side of the attacking line. At this European Championship, Olmo's selection is hardly controversial, and after two surprising transfer options, Olmo's career continues to make great strides, and it has to be said that Olmo is a very smart player on and off the pitch. On the pitch, Olmo's style of play is also different from most Spanish players, he inherited the Spanish attacker's specialty of dribbling and possession, but his experience in croatia and German leagues has made his playing style more fierce, and he is also quite experienced in running without the ball, which makes Olmo more comprehensive, and in the semi-final between Spain and Italy, Enrique let Olmo play the center of the three arrows in the front.
In fact, to this day, the transfer market is full of transfer rumors about Olmo, the major European clubs continue to pay attention to the La Masia's youth training pearls, after this European Championship, presumably Olmo's performance will definitely make the scouts more interested in him. However, Dani Olmo will inevitably have a clear plan for his career, in the two choices before his career, Olmo has fully demonstrated his calm and confidence that is different from most people, and his inner love for football is the driving force that supports him to keep moving forward, and this pure enthusiasm may be the key to helping a player succeed.
