Round success for Spain. De La Fuente’s national team won 3-0 against Croatia on the first day of Group B of Euro2024. Italy’s next opponent certainly has a lot of quality in all departments. In the middle of the field there is also an old acquaintance of Italian football like Fabian Ruiz, scored last Saturday. The former Napoli midfielder spoke to the microphones of the Federation’s official channel starting from a comment on Morata:
“He’s our captain, he’s been here for a long time and hasn’t been through very good moments. It was a dream match against Croatia. The goal? As soon as I receive the ball, Modric comes to me and I try to pass him, then I did the tunnel to Brozovic and fortunately the ball went through. I’m happy to have helped the team. It’s very impressive that we always finish the games on attack.
We train almost every day to kick on goal from outside the area. Before the match the coach told me that when I arrived in that area to take advantage of my qualities and kick, even if it was with my left foot which is not my foot. After that goal I remembered those words.”
