Spain coach Luis de la Fuente, after the 3-2 win over Switzerland in Tenerife on Monday in the final matchday of the Nations League group stage, highlighted the insatiable character of his players and predicted "marvellous expectations" for the future of the national team.
"These players are insatiable, they want to compete and improve every day, no matter who they play. They are an example of team spirit, generosity and of raising the competitive level", said the coach from La Rioja.
De la Fuente stressed that the objective was to finish the year 2024 with another victory and"endorse a fantastic season", and underlined the difficulty, in his opinion, of "getting used to winning".
De la Fuente once again praised midfielder Marc Casado, "great news" because he is a player "who has been with us for a game and a half, and plays like a veteran, with confidence and security, who transmits football and control of the situation; he had a match to remember. A surprise package", he stressed. He spoke about the comparison with Luis Enrique's national team: "Before it was also a great team, but now we win and giver our all. We are used to competing for the best, without thinking about the past. We have a magnificent present and a wonderful future thanks to the players we have in Spain. The best in the world".
