Amid the general excitement in Mestalla, midnight already, hundreds of people waiting outside the stadium to pay tribute to the national team, the federation group with haste, the question sounded without spicy or acidity. «Do you see limits to this … selection? The coach, who has not losing two years and has renewed his contract to the 2028 Eurocup, took out the fang again. «This selection is very young, it has a great tour and the important thing is the attitude of the players. They are insatiable, they want to continue competing, they want to compete to win, ”he contributed in the first instance. And he apostilled: «If I am a bit bad now, I remember that two years ago some illuminated said it was a minor competition. And look in the semifinals, three world champions and one in Europe. They can beat us, but we will fight ».
There was no specific question about the League of Nations, its size or history, but the coach jumped into a defeat, without citing the interpellated. A habitual norm in football, talk to envelopes. Anyone can agree that the Spain-low pairs was a great game, or that it will be the France-Spain of June 5 in the semifinal in Stuttgart, but it is evident that the League of Nations does not have the weight or tradition of other tournaments such as the Eurocup or the World Cup.
The minor hierarchy of the tournament with the indisputable hegemony of the participating selections converge in this telephone confusion.
The coach has been launching proclamation for a long time regarding general self -esteem and the respect he understands this European champion team deserves. “We need to love each other more as a country,” he said more than once. “We have a great country and you have to value it,” was another in Germany.
And the last one, on March 14 before the Valencian media that were interested in local players in the National Team, specifically Gayá. «It is very difficult to enter because there are very good players. Let’s respect this group, which is the current European champion and the League of Nations, entering here is not easy. And that demands a lot of work, effort, capacity and sacrifice ».
Luis de la Fuente has established a sports criterion that has worked and a security perimeter with soccer players he directed in the Sub 21. Oyarzábal or Mikel Merino are the example. «Two players who are safe value. They have exceptional talent, maturity, always reliable performance and outside the field give a lot of temperance to the group ».
The formula
It is the coach’s work formula. He prefers the theory of good people who add to the collective instead of stars with perhaps more talent or quality. «They are the ones that are in the best condition and it is also a sign of respect for the European champions. We pull these players who have made history and others that appear and that will make us more competitive, ”he replied to ABC in the previous game with the Netherlands.
Since the last Europe Useful simplicity Towards a message battery with a scathing accent and in which the denture shows. He continues to call journalists by name, repeat mantras that qualify their players as “insatiable”, “the best in the world” and the like, but begins to establish distances.
He did it with Luis Enrique, the previous coach. «You can’t go against true things. I am very calm. But if I were enlarged I would have won it. Others would throw charisma, but I am humble, educated … and there I will stop, ”he said after the match against Serbia in Córdoba and before the question of If I was’ enlarged‘.
De la Fuente accompanies him at each press conference, and offers many in each selections window, the psychologist and exporter Javier López Vallejo, Inseparable for the technician and who trusts one hundred percent at the time of mental preparation and the type of advertisements that must be transmitted through media questions. From the source it is rarely heated, maintains an infinite education and composure and that is why the flash to the illuminated without name caught attention.
