Luis de la Fuente is happy for achieving the goal of lifting the Nations League and returning Spain to the top. The questioned Spanish coach retaliated by lifting a new title for La Roja 11 years later. Always humble, he did not hesitate to acknowledge the work of his footballers on Sunday night.
“We push the maximum out of our players. We are happy with what we have achieved. I have no words to describe what I feel for them. They set an example of professionalism and of the entire work group”, commented the technician before the TVE microphones.
De la Fuente was not used to being nervous nor did he do so in the decisive penalty shootout against Croatia. “I was very calm during the penalties. I told them to throw them gently. They are champions for me and they earned it”, said the coach, who is already thinking about qualifying for Euro 2024. “Now it’s a few days to rest. Qualify for the Eurocup and enjoy it because it’s something incredible”.
For his part, Luis Rubiales, president of the Federation, congratulated himself on the title won in Rotterdam. “We worked a lot but for all the Spaniards. We need this happiness. We created serious chances with many chances to win, and we competed very well”.
The leader also praised the footballers and labeled them as references for the new generations. “Football is training in education and everyone with these male idols is very good for them, today’s winners are great references.”
He also wanted to thank the support of the fans who came to Rotterdam to cheer on the National Team and remembered Luis Enrique for being the key to Spain’s qualification for the Nations League final. “Thank you to the fans because without them it would be impossible. AND also Luis Enrique and his coaching staff brought us here. He is a very important part of it all, and louis de la fuente He has finished, the truth is that he is perfect”, commented Rubiales.
