Luis de la Fuente spoke to the media ahead of the match against him Serbia And Spain In Belgrade. The national team, which returns after winning the Eurocup, begins its journey in a new edition of the League of Nationswhere the Spanish national team defends the title won in June 2023 in Rotterdam against Croatia.
“Spain is not racist. It is an example of coexistence and integration. There are always some little undesirables. It is an example where we have to look at many countries,” began Luis de la Fuente when asked about Vinicius’ words.
About Pedri and Olmo, he said the following: “Pedri-Olmo, it doesn’t matter if he plays or doesn’t play, whether on the pitch or off, use them in the game plan, in the best way, take advantage of them. Thanks to their great talent, they can play together and also separately.
“Rodri is fine. He has trained very well. He is in perfect condition. We are following the work plan established. If it is because you can participate. We will see if he will participate in the whole match or for a while against Switzerland,” he assured.
De la Fuente also spoke about the penalties: “We have other takers and we are very calm. Normally, we tell the players who throw them. If one can’t, another can throw, but it is something consensual that is normally taken.
He also spoke about Lamine Yamal: “It’s perfect. He felt some discomfort after a blow. He had trained normally, but he is very young. To make him feel calmer, he went to do some tests. “Everything came back negative and he is ready to play tomorrow.”
“I have no doubt: this team is insatiable. We want to continue growing, we still have a lot to do and we believe that the best is yet to come. People are very motivated. You don’t know what can happen in a game, but there is absolutely no conformism or lack of motivation. “We want to continue winning,” he said of the team.
“In my mind, Carvajal And Rodrigue They should be two of the candidates for everything they have done. I have that clear. As for me, I don’t know if I am or not, but the most important thing is to be happy with the working group that I have. Without them, it would be nothing. If this recognition comes, I would be happy because it would be widely shared with them,” he explained about the Ballon d’Or and the award for best coach.
From the Source we also talked about it Serbia: “It’s a great team. It’s a very tough rival. A lot of things are said to reassure. “I appreciate the praise, but we know how tough it will be in an environment as legendary as this stadium.”
“I continue to do the same things, I continue to live in the same way, but the media recognition has increased. The reception in Madrid where we won the Euro, seeing the people happy… that moved me. And of course, the reception in my city was extremely exciting. It was a summer, at this level, extremely sensitive, exciting and that made me very happy. I saw a lot of people with the spirit that I demanded, people dedicated to the national team,” explained the coach when asked how his life had changed after being European champion.
