Luis De la Fuentetechnical commissioner of the Red Furies, spoke like this: TVE at the end of the match: “We are very happy to have won in a very difficult stadium against an opponent who had to play everything to try to qualify. It was very hard, very difficult, but we had very good phases of play. We leave satisfied because from We always come out of games like these with positive conclusions.”
The entry of Nico and Morata with the score 0-2: “It was the right moment, knowing that they had to go on the attack, we tried to catch them on some counterattacks. We had some opportunities, that was the plan, but it’s true that they defended very well and put us down in the last minutes I want to congratulate the players, because they have many talents, they always surprise us and they also know how to suffer.”
How are Baena and Zubimendi: “We’ll see how they evolve, Baena had a problem with his ankle, it doesn’t seem like anything serious, but we’ll see the evolution. Zubimendi felt discomfort in his hip which didn’t allow him to kick. The last match allows us to refresh the team and so we will do it.”
Last match against Switzerland, nothing at stake: “For us there is always something at stake, there is a lot of prestige, the name of Spain has a lot of weight and a lot of responsibility. We will try to play a good match and win. We have to look after our players and not take unnecessary risks.”
