Luis de la Fuente spoke to the media after the victory of Spain with a view to Denmark in Murcia. A goal of Martin Zubimendi It was enough for the national team to score three points which allowed them to reach the head of their group in the League of Nations. If they beat Serbia next Tuesday in Cordoba, they will qualify for the quarter-finals.
The coach started by analyzing the match Zubimendi: “It’s a safe bet. Play very calmly and with great discretion. I don’t know if in the second half we were better because of him or if he was better because of the growth of the team. “He is the second best player in the world in his position.”
“I wasn’t angry, there was just a lot of tension. In the first half, like in Serbia, we lacked a bit of tact against a big rival. In the second half we were quicker and the changes gave us more energy. “The matches last 90 minutes,” he commented about the match.
From the source gave an “excellent” to Morata. “He missed a goal. He had the possibility of scoring a goal, but he gave us a lot of depth and had a great match. It’s one of the best. I still have to put it in, but I’m sure it will arrive. “It brings us a lot, it’s very complete and important.”
Regarding Pedri, he explained the following: “These are readings of the game. You can play 90 or more, but it’s a team effort. You have to do one job, then another one appears. This is what we did today. In the first half he did a lot of work for us. Then when Mikel and Baena left, they caused a lot of problems. You can play as much as you want, but we are a team. He’s a great player. “His best version is yet to come.”
From the source talked about Laminate and the kicks they give him: “It’s football. I had a friend who, when they kicked us, would tell us if we wanted kisses. Football is football and it is the referee who must set the limit. Young players are intimidated, it’s the law of football, but that’s what the referee is for. You have to get used to it and learn. I wish it was a bed of roses, but it’s not like that.
On the other hand, he analyzed Pedro Porro’s match: “We always counted on him, but it’s true that Carvajal and Navas believed we were better. He is having a very good season at Tottenham and we are delighted with him. “Injuries open the door for you and you have to take advantage of those opportunities.”
De la Fuente explained how the game has changed: “You have to work on games. Faced with these requirements, the equipment performs very well. “This variety makes you a safe team which, when the match gets bogged down, creates dangerous situations.”
