Luis de la Fuente: “Yesterday my best match as a coach, Italy is a superb team”

Luis de La Fuente, Spain coach, spoke on UEFA’s official channels to analyze last night’s victory against Italy. These are his words: “This could be the best match we have played of all the ones I have coached. We played against a superb, world-class team. We controlled the game and the only negative aspect is state not to materialize more.

We knew when to push, when to play vertically, when to control the ball. I also thought that, defensively, we were terrific. The team was so good that I am tremendously proud of all my players. I’m proud of how my kids have endless ambition and work ethic. I think the thing that impressed me the most was knowing how to interpret the different moments of this difficult match.”
