Despite being satisfied with the great image of the Spanish National Team in the Euro Cup to seal by defeating Croatia and Albania’s passage to the round of 16 as leader, Luis de la Fuente warned that “a lot of prestige” and “recognition” are at stake against Albania, convinced that there continues to be a “great margin for growth.”
“We have a lot at stake, a lot of prestige and recognition, to continue improving. We are going to approach the game like the previous ones, as if it were the last. It is the best way to approach any type of match. With a game plan that those who will participate will participate. We consider them to be the best, thinking only of winning because we want to win every game,” he said, explaining his idea for the game against Albania.
The Spanish coach ruled out that any controversy that affects the Federation and any personal situation regarding the future of any of his players will affect the team’s performance. “Within the concentration only the feeling of selection is transmitted. They are the best professionals and they only think about selection, selection and selection.”
And grateful for the praise given by the rival coach, Silvinho, he also dedicated it to Albania. “It is appreciated that they speak well of us, but we have our feet on the ground. I also speak well of Albania from the heart. We know them well. For the general public it will be a surprise what they are doing, but we had no doubt. “We know that tomorrow will be very complicated.”
