Role in selection
But the player’s importance goes beyond his club, given that his numbers speak for themselves in the national team: In his 29 senior international games, he scored 6 goals and provided 5 assists. Luis Enrique had him as one of his most advantaged students, the coach used him in all offensive roles and convinced him to be a permanent part of his system.
Worker with and without the ball, he is the Roja player who shoots the most on goal, crosses, presses, snaps and the one who receives the most between the lines. Even with Luis de la Fuente he continues to play a leading role, in fact Dani was the player who scored the first goal in his first game as manager. Their career together dates back to 2019, when he was called up to go to the Under-21 European Championship despite being two years younger than the rest of the team.. In addition, in the second game he gave him the title and never left the eleven, to the point of being named MVP of the final. Since then the good relationship between the two has been maintained, so the man from Terrasa should also be a key player in the new team that is being built.
More stars than ever Olmo faces a sweet stage where it is expected that, without neglecting his humble character, he demonstrates once again that he is ready for new challenges.
