If there is something that catches the attention of the Spanish football coach, Luis de la Fuenteis that he is a man who has transformed the classical concept of normality into an immense virtue, so that his behavior naturally escapes the spectaclethe pose or histrionics that characterize other very self-satisfied figures in the world of sport. In the interview he gave to OKDIARIO, the coach of the best team in Europe details the most relevant aspects of his role at the head of the national team and speaks openly about his religious beliefs or about the unfair punishment that team captains Morata and Rodri received from UEFA for shouting “Gibraltar, Spanish!” during the European Cup celebration.
What fascinates about Luis de la Fuente is his ability to exercise recognized leadership without having to overdo it. In a society where what is popular is to get noticed by resorting to imposture, the Spanish coach is the complete opposite and embodies the values that should be preserved and instilled in new generations.
The first conclusion that can be drawn from the words of the coach of the Spanish team is that success is achieved slowly and that it does not have so much to do, in this case, with a sporting victory, however important it may be, but rather with the general recognition of his way of being as a person and with the feeling of affection This awakens his folkloric silhouette. De la Fuente breathes above all common sense, coherence, prudence and a way of understanding life that is condensed in the old adage of “dressing from the feet up”. Indeed, the technician is that: an ordinary man in the best sense of the word ordinary. What happens, to understand us, good man. Something that, unfortunately, is beginning to fall into disuse.
