Spanish team | De la Fuente: A very special phrase and dedication

by time news

Luis de la Fuente, the Spanish coach, believes a lot in short sentences that can cause an impact on their footballers. He likes to remember some concepts in a short and concise way. And in the match against Norway he left a sentence to summarize his feelings: “Nothing in life is achieved without effort“, was his summary.

The technician argued thatsuffering does not scare me, I understand my life constant suffering, work and improvement. It is an inherent part of the sport and it is not pejorative”.

De la Fuente considered it normal for Spain to go through moments of trouble against a rival that made life very difficult like Norway. “The matches don’t last 40 minutes but 90 and you have to value everything“. La Roja improved with the changes and, above all, with the entry of a Imperial Joseluauthor of two goals in his first international game.

The coach was very active throughout the game. Constantly raised, he did not stop giving instructions and correcting his footballers. “It wasn’t a sublime match,” she acknowledged. The degree of demand from him is maximum, although he also considers that “the foundations were laid to grow“.

The family

Spain thrashed Norway in the debut of the 2024 Euro Cup in De la Fuente’s debut, although he always remembers the atypical match during the pandemic with a smile in which he temporarily replaced Luis Enrique against Lithuania. “It’s not my debut, but I feel like a rookie“, he said cheerfully.

His tone was more emotional when he spoke of his personal feelings. “I am very happy“, he pointed out and had a clear dedication: “I remember those who are not there, I wish my parents were hereI think of my family.”

Spain took a first step and on Tuesday plays the next against Scotland. Luis de la Fuente left his stamp on the premiere both in the game and in his way of being. Direct, simple and eager for the national team to be everyone’s team again. In Malaga he achieved it with a city delivered to a selection.
