Spain signed a comfortable victory in Copenhagen (1-2) against Denmark in a convincing performance, only marred by a gift in defense in the final stretch, which ensured first place in its Nations League group and home field advantage in the quarters. There was a footballer who will not forget this day. It was the 69th minute of Denmark-Spain. Zubimendi dropped to the grass and put his hand to his pubes asking for change. De la Fuente looked at the bench. And it happened. Marc Casadó, who debuted with the under-21 team a month ago, did so with the senior team. “I feel very satisfied. When you leave you remember the people who have accompanied you and who have helped you so much throughout this time. This is for them,” said the Barcelona youth player.
I didn’t expect to get into De la Fuente’s plans so quickly. I was talking to Pedri and Yeremi that there were three of us warming up and there were only two changes left. But I have seen that Zubimendi had discomfort. I have spoken with him, that he is fine and I have been lucky to be able to enter,” he noted with a smile.

Casadó took more than a hit. ”But these are the games I like. “Intense,” he said without complaint. ”In the end it was a little complicated but we knew how to suffer, which is also important. In the end I think everything turned out well. The match, the classification and the debut,” he said.

De la Fuente’s diagnosis
Luis de la Fuente was also happy. “We want to dedicate the victory to the victims of the DANA of Valencia. Beyond this tragedy and focusing on the game, we are happy. It was a complicated field. It has been difficult but we have had very good phases of the game. We see that the team responds to many situations. We must give importance to this victory. “I want to congratulate the team because they continue to improve day by day,” the coach analyzed.
De la Fuente is now waiting for news from the infirmary. Martín Zubimendi and Alex Baena could not finish. “Zubimendi has ended up with hip discomfort,” said the coach. He was less optimistic about Alex Baena, who left the field crying after injuring his ankle. The two players will undergo tests that will determine the extent of their ailments and whether they can continue in training or return to their clubs.
In the next match, with nothing at stake, Spain plays Switzerland on Monday in Tenerife. “But we always play for prestige. We are happy because there is a great pool of players who would contribute many things to this team. And we have many players that we control who could be here,” he said.
