The bulk of the players on this Tour did brand the 1982 Finals squad. The alone exceptions were Cundi, Marcos Alonso, Quique Ramos, Moran too Montero.
Santamaria had settled on the backbone of the squad featuring Arconada, Camacho, Tendillo, Alexanco, Gordillo, Zamora, Satrustegui, Pericho Alonso too Juanito.
A rested too settled Quini was waiting inwards the wings too past times the fourth dimension of the World Cup, Real Sociedad’s Lopez Ufarte would also characteristic prominently.
It was also obvious that Juanito was a crucial chemical component despite his temper.
In improver to the incident amongst the fans inwards the Venezuela match, it was reported that during the tour he had feuded amongst Arconada too Zamora.
However, he was indispensable to Santamaria’s Kingdom of Spain too a source of goals. Juanito would sadly live killed inwards a auto accident inwards 1992, every bit would Javier Urruticoechea inwards 2001.
