Rafa Mir made his Spain U21 debut last week against Albania. Coming on as a substitute in the second half, the Wolves owned player managed to get himself a goal and also put in a good all round performance.
There was plenty of praise for Mir in his home country, and it was seen as a signal of strength for Spain’s future that such a good player could come off the bench and have an impact.
Spending this season loan at Las Palmas, there was a danger the striker could slip out of the consciousness somewhat, with the Canary Island team being in the second division.
His goal has probably gone some way to pushing that possibility further away, and he’s very happy about his current situation.
Marca state the player spoke with a smile on his face as he said: “I am very happy to have this opportunity, being in the national team is the greatest thing that can happen to a player and we have to keep working.”Wolves’ investment isn’t looking too bad right now.
