Spain’s coach Luis de la Fuente gave an interview to ‘Sport’ ahead of their Nations League match against Denmark in which he talked about several topics about the national team. Among many things, the coach listed Lamine Yamal as a future football legend.
The Spanish national team are already preparing their last two matches of the group stage of the Nations League against Denmark and Switzerland. Earlier, Spain coach Luis de la Fuente gave an interview to ‘Sport’ in which he reviewed several issues concerning ‘la Roja’.
“From the first moment I said that this competition is as demanding as an EURO, there is no group stage, we are the 16 best teams in Europe. The knockout rounds are very tough. Germany, Portugal, France, Croatia, all the top teams can fall to you in the quarterfinals. This is the third edition with Portugal, France and Spain as champions. As time goes by, everyone wants to win it and it will have even more importance”, he began.
On the success of the new generation of ‘La Roja’: “We have a generation with a wonderful present and future. We know the raw material well and we bet on these players. Some young players we have known for years, others with more experience and winning everything”.
On the other hand, De la Fuente did not hesitate to praise the figure of Lamine Yamal: “Lamine has everything to be a football legend in the future. Now, he is 17 years old and we have to go very slowly with him. Be very cautious. The first thing he must know is that with the basis of humility and professionalism, he will achieve many things. This demand and responsibility is unavoidable”.
