David Villa walked out of the Spain national team in June 2014 and didn’t walk in again until late August 2017, long after everyone assumed it was all over. Everyone including him.

That goes for the fringes of the roster as well. Perhaps a veteran is brought in to help set the proper tone in training and during the run-up to critical matches. He may not even play in the games, and may not have a long-term role in the squad. But in the near term,…
Spain coach Julen Lopetegui says David Villa has earned his return to the national team with his performances for NYCFC.
David Villa is not only loving life with Patrick Vieira’s New York City FC but his outstanding Major League Soccer form has earned a dream Spain recall at the age of 35.
