Luis de la Fuente, Spanish coach, argued with his list of 29 for the preparation of the Euro Cup, where he had to remove three players before traveling to Germany on June 9. “Everyone has the same options” although he later noted that “right now I’m very clear about 26.” The Rioja coach insisted that he expanded the list because the regulations still allow him to wait until June 7, the deadline imposed by UEFA to give the final call “This is to guarantee against any setback that may occur in the final of the Champions or in training and create a problem. “We minimize the risks, we have too many players.”
The coach was a bit confused by some answers about proper names, especially in Peter, which he always says is very good and he can finally summon for the first time. “I see every day what a good footballer he is. There will come a time when the talent of Peter will appear. He is picking up a rhythm that brings him closer to what he is. Pedri gives us many alternatives,” began the coach, although he later left his place open. “All, if he is among the 26 selected. You have to make disposals. On the 7th you will be informed.”
After this response, From the origin was cross-examined, but he was again somewhat vague in his answer. “I’m clear about it, as of today. That’s what we’re going to train for, with the feelings I will clear up doubts. Maybe some of those players who I think can be rued out, can change places. Everyone is think they are about 26”.
But later, From the origin His face changed when they compared Pedri’s case to Iniesta’s in 2010, which also came after months of chain injuries. “He is a footballer of unquestionable talent and he will find his moment to perform. Stories repeat themselves. Football is circular. A situation that you think will never happen again, repeats itself it and more football. We also thought about it. We used more analytical and objective data to select Pedri, but I like the comparison with Iniesta.”
Later, he also talked about other names, esp Fermin Lopez. “He is at a very high level. But let’s be careful. Fermín has to contribute everything he has contributed to his club. He is in the process of training and growing. There are players in the National Team who are increasing their performance. He is a player who will be happy and he will show us what a good footballer he is.”
About the Madrid player Nacho Fernandez, another name that caused doubt, De la Fuente is strong. “Nacho is a certain value. He has been with us and became the champion of Nations. He should not doubt. We celebrate that Nacho is playing in the Champions League and he is playing as he does. away. And I hope Madrid wins me.”
He also defended himself Morata already Marcos Llorente and spoke of the illusion of Ayoze Perez, the big news on the list. “We think it is time to give Ayoze a chance. He is a very good footballer and he will come in well. This is his moment and he will take it.” The Spanish coach also asked the fans to unite before the tournament as he remembered the group’s struggles.
