Luis de la Fuente, Spanish coach, He emphasized that “what Real Madrid is doing, nothing is being done” when asked about a prediction for the Champions League final that the white team will play this Saturday at Wembley against Borussia Dortmund and ventured that it would be “hard to miss” qualification.
“Making predictions when the two best teams in Europe play in the final, because they got there, is really difficult. But, with respect to all the clubs, it’s not so difficult when Real Madrid is there, because what is being done of Real Madrid No one does it. Their experience and their football potential, despite the fact that they have a good team in front of them, indicates that they can achieve fifteenth. I want Real Madrid to win and I hope it will be a good final for the audience. “Real Madrid will hardly miss this final,” he said.
De la Fuente was present in the CaixaForum Madrid auditorium with Sergio Scariolo, his namesake in the Spanish basketball team, at the ‘Between Sports Leaders’ meeting organized by OK Diario. There he also defined the possible role his team can play in the next Euro Cup.
“We are a great team, with very good players. But above all the word team, which is my real concern, building a team. When you give up everything you can’t give more. Being able to compete to win something is an achievement in itself. We’re not afraid of pressure or they might say we’re favorites,” he thinks.
“We will be ready to fight for the Euro Cup”
“I think we are in a position to fight for something important, and that will be a victory. We must de-dramatize defeat, When you lose to good teams, they did something better. Surely we will be in dispute until the end,” he added about it.
He also analyzed the possible international explosion of Lamine Yamal: “You have to be careful with these footballers. At 16 years old you have to be careful and let them develop naturally, without stress and without pressure. You have to be careful, let them develop.”
“He has fantastic potential, like the other 16 and 17-year-olds we bring to the senior team. We have to let them develop naturally and this way we have less chance of losing them. “He is a footballer with potential as I have seen several times,” he pointed out.
Regarding the way of preparing the list for the Euro Cup, he declared: “The success of the picker depends on the selection of good raw material. “There will always be doubts, there will always be someone who misses someone, but you have to be calm with what you have chosen and think that that decision is the best.”
“I am deeply convinced that success depends on the team and individual talent must be at the service of the team. This is my way of thinking and I try to convey it to the players, that the talent they have is very good. always put themselves at the service of the team, because “You’ll get further than just trying to exploit the qualities of individualism,” he reflected.
On the other hand, he said: “Our competition is very complicated, in one week you risk the work of several years of preparation. You need to reduce the margin of error to a minimum, you need to evaluate many aspects when making a choice, different situations and game ideas. You earn the footballer’s respect when he feels you are helping him win. “If it’s not like that, you don’t need that chemistry to compete at the highest level.”
