Euro 2024, Luis de la Fuente charges Spain and defends Alvaro Morata

The words of Luis de la Fuente ahead of Spain-England

During a speech to the microphones of Spanish daily "Marca", Spain coach Luis de la Fuente presented the Euro 2024 final against England. In addition, the Spanish coach wanted to vigorously defend his own striker Alvaro Morata, who è been the subject of several criticisms in recent days.

"It's true that we faced very difficult teams. This underscores the great class of this national team. The players are people, some already have experience in this situation, while others may feel more pressure. You have to evaluate the emotional aspect. I know them well and they are very sensitive people. You have to touch their heads, their intelligence and also their hearts" began the Spain Ct.

"England awaits us, which è a great team, but the most important thing è is that we are able to adapt to any game situation, from longer possessions to transitions to playing with the knife between our teeth in attack. It's a final and we are convinced that success will come from the ability to exploit our strengths" added the former Spanish defender.

"In Spain unfortunately we struggle to recognize the good things we have. Morata è a clear example. He has outstanding numbers: fourth top scorer in the history of Spain, third in the European Championships, won titles at all levels in top clubs. As a player he would be considered a legend in any other country and his prestige would surely be recognized. From us è it is difficult. With his statements he has not created any internal conflict and Alvaro enjoys the full support of all his teammates. We are all with him" commented Luis de la Fuente.
