Spain does not stop and also submerges Switzerland in the Nations League. Louis of the Fountain commented on the 4-1 victory: “I am proud of this team, and even more so in these circumstances. This gives greater emphasis to the work of a group of players who are more of a team. We played an extraordinary match; we were outnumbered because of Le Normand’s expulsion but I saw commitment and solidarity. Spain is a team with a capital S. What we are doing is something to be framed”.
What can you say to this group of players?
“I feel enthusiasm, pride and the feeling that we are leading a country to identify with this group of players. There are values beyond sport, because they are supportive and humble.”
What is your analysis of the match?
“Pedri was playing a great game, but the team needed to be rebuilt. In the first 20 minutes we had total control, then with ten men we played a perfect game. And when there were problems, a great goalkeeper like David Raya appeared.”
Another great match from Fabian.
“Fabián is the best in the world in his role and he never makes mistakes. It’s not a surprise to me.”
How did you see Ferran?
“We think he is very effective, especially on the right flank. I have known him since he was 16 and he is already one of the captains of this national team. These details should also be highlighted. He is a very good player, much loved but has few awards…, like someone else who has not been called up”.
Was Lamine’s change a technical decision?
“He was tired, fatigued. The pitch was bad and the weather was bad. We changed him with Ferran, who was phenomenal also thanks to the exhausting work that Lamine did for the opponents in the first half.”
