Guillem Balague: Everton ideal for Gerard Deulofeu; Spain face tough World Cup test

There were plenty of thrills and spills in the fourth round of the Copa del Rey over the weekend.

DRAWING CONCLUSIONS
Guillem. What was the reaction in Spain to your country's World Cup draw? A potential final with Brazil would be incredible but Spain surely can't be looking forward to a meeting with Holland in the group stages? Cheers, Steven Hughes GUILLEM SAYS: Spain are quite clearly in a tough group - one of the toughest in the group stage. I admire Chile and what they're doing and also they have a goal-scorer in Alexis Sanchez. Everyone knows about Holland, and that's the first game, but the biggest enemy of Spain is Spain. We don't start competitions well - we all remember the defeat against Switzerland in the last World Cup - and I just feel that the team needs a push in terms of attitude and hunger. That can be given by Diego Costa, who I think will be starting with Spain if he continues his form. He certainly gives an edge to Spain, which can be contagious and everybody can go down that line. But I will go further and include Koke and even David Villa, although he's perhaps not at his best, because the three of them are playing for Atletico Madrid and they can now play direct football or more possession football. Add to that the likes of Cesc, Andres Iniesta, Sergio Busquets, Xabi Alonso and you've got your team there. The fear Vincente Del Bosque has is the team don't respond psychologically to the challenge, having won everything. That's everybody's fear. I think the World Cup final will be Argentina-Brazil, though!

KEEPER CALL?
Hi Guillem. I see Jose Reina has said he'd like to go to Barcelona in the summer - do you think they'll go for him or will they look to a younger keeper when Victor Valdes leaves? Keep up the good work, David Marshall GUILLEM SAYS: I get the impression Barcelona have got set two goalkeepers for next season. One is Pepe Reina and the other is Marc-André ter Stegen. I think they have an agreement with both players but in both cases they will have to pay the respective club. They're willing to pay Liverpool about 5m euros for Reina and 10m euros to Borussia Monchengladbach for Ter Stegen, but quite clearly it's something to be negotiated and isn't a done deal.
