What The Coach Has To Say
Roberto Martínez, Portugal coach: “When you used to play against Spain, you had to control the way they keep the ball, the way they control the games with the ball possession, the way they can drag you out of position. They do that, because it’s in their DNA. It’s how the players are developed in the early years. But now, they added pace and verticality with Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal. So you’re talking about probably one of the best teams in the world in terms of using that speed and using that transition, with the normal aspect of a team that know how to play, how to keep the ball, how to defend with the ball, and that makes them a very complete team.”
Luis de la Fuente, Spain coach: “It’s very difficult to reach finals and the important thing about this team is they are hungry. They want more success, competing and winning. The look in the eyes of the players who had been there before and the new players was the same. I’m excited to see young players who want to make history for the national team.”
