Spain Controlled England In Wembley – Luis de la Fuente

Spain manager Luis de la Fuente has hailed his team’s tactical dominance and mental fortitude against England. Recall that the World Cup winners recently secured a thrilling 3-2 victory over the Three Lions at Wembley.

Insisting that his side remained the superior force throughout the Nations League encounter, Luis de la Fuente stated that his team dictated the flow of the game for the vast majority of the match.

He concluded by expressing immense pride in the collective spirit of his squad throughout the fiery clash.

His words, “I think the game was under control most of the time, apart from the six or seven minutes where we got disconnected and they punished us.

We had to pay more attention to cover the spaces against a rival against England and a superpower with their talent — but I think we had the game under control.

This generation is exceptional and they are still hungry, and still want to keep playing. Numbers are objective indicators of what we see — but we still want to improve and grow.

All the praise goes to the players.

They are a group and we talked about this yesterday — we’ve formed a team that goes beyond professional level.

We make sacrifices — but the players adapt to the models we impose and I respect their ambition — they want to grow, and there is room for improvement.

We had clear chances, but we missed those but I’d like to underline our capacity to come back.

Even if we were 3-1 down, we’d have come back like we did from 2-1. The important thing is we bounced back.

The important thing is Ferran is a beast in front of goal. I’m satisfied with his performance and attitude — everything is teamwork. It doesn’t matter who comes on — the important thing is they help each other as a team.

Yamal is an exceptional player, and he adapts to every moment in every game. He adapts and plays according to the moment and what’s necessary.”
