The historic former Spain side, Juanfranhe thus presented to Sky Sports tonight’s big match between the Roja and Italy: “Just like in my Spain, in De la Fuente’s national team there are many quality young people. This Spain, like Italy, is experiencing a phase of renewal. There are also experienced players, but these are supported by a new generation. It is difficult to make comparisons with the Spain of a few years ago, the best in history.”
The former Atletico Madrid player then continued: “Pedri, Morata, Gavi, Fabian Ruiz… This Spain has a great team, but Italy is also very strong. To win tonight we will have to run and fight more than the Azzurri”.
