Luis de la Fuentethe Spanish football coach, appeared in front of the press at Nuevo Arcángel in Córdoba, a few hours before the match between Spain and Serbia. One from Haro started by explaining what happened to Lamine Yamal: “Lamine had a problem at the end of the game. I spoke to him and he told me that he thinks he will not be a hundred on Tuesday and in front of people. The doubt is always bet on the health of the player, it happens like it must be done.The message is always the same and why you are at home. “He played because he had to play and there is no argument.”
27 games in two years
The teacher insisted on this matter: “What saddens me the most is that there are people who intervene, I will explain clearly.” Last year we played 17 international matches because we were lucky enough to reach the final of the Euro Cup, but this year we will play ten. All 27 in two years, one a month. There is another problem and we have enough problems.” De la Fuente also emphasized that “I have not spoken to anyone from Barça, although I have a good relationship with them. He has been honest, he is not well and I am grateful for the maturity to tell me that he is not a hundred. I appreciate it.”
Regarding the possibility of calling up other players and resting the regulars if the team beats Serbia and completes the math in the quarterfinals, he warned: “We want to be the first and we will continue to demand more from ourselves. We all want to win and we must use the tools we have. “That’s what they pay us for, but we’re not the ones who put players’ health at risk.”
Without Nico or Lamine
Regarding the team’s performance without Nico or Lamine, the native of Rioja said “We have a clear idea of the game, but we are not bound by other players. We have resources and we will use them. His successor has the best football and is putting it on the court. Everyone has their own value and role and we know what we can get from each player. Those who play do so because they got it on the field and in training. “Here we choose the best and we know that if someone fails, the one who will replace him is the best.
