Spain coach Luis de La Fuente, He assured this Tuesday that although he is clear of the 26 players who will be on the final list for the European Cup – so he has to bring out three of those called – “the players don’t know” and their obligation “is to think that they are in” and that is why they compete.
In the press conference before the friendly match that will be held tomorrow at Nuevo Vivero stadium in Badajoz against Andorra, De la Fuente specified that we have to see how these preparatory matches develop “and if my idea is ratified or I will make another decision.”
For this reason, he refused to comment on the presence of players like the Barcelona player in that final list. Ferminand described as “cabalism” the fact that it is said that he is not, in principle, among the 26.
As for whether he notices the special nervousness among the players until he knows who the three will be thrown out, the Spanish coach said that the atmosphere is “exceptional” and what he sees is “competition, enthusiasm and the desire to show what they can do” whatever. whether they are in the Euro Cup later or not. As he said, if they are there they will be happy and if not “because their friends will stay.”
He also referred to players such as Alvaro Morata either Peterwhich he defended because “They have nothing to prove” and insisted that at this stage of preparation for the Euro Cup it is about recovering from a difficult period “and not getting anyone in shape.”
Luis de la Fuente also featured the Sevilla player Jesus Navas, international at 39 years old, “but with the behavior of a youth” and for which he had only “words of recognition.”
Regarding the latter’s inclusion of the defender Laporteindicated that the same work plan was designed for him as for the players of Real Madrid (Carvajal, Nacho and Joselu)despite not playing with his team afterwards.
Finally, regarding the decision not to train on the field where the match will be held – something he has done in other calls – he said it was done “sometimes for convenience” and because he did not believe it was important , and is advanced to European Cup He also plans to do it like this.
