Luis de la Fuente: “We are happy to be at the World Cup”
Excellent qualifying campaign
“We are happy and satisfied. This match highlights everything that has been achieved so far. It is very difficult to maintain the run we are currently on — 31 matches unbeaten. We could have won the game, but we must be pleased about qualifying for the World Cup.”
Next objectives
“We have a great deal of work ahead of us. First, we have the World Cup draw in the United States. After that, we will begin preparing for whichever opponents we are assigned. A very intense period is coming.”
The ‘Finalissima’
“We are extremely excited about it. We now have four months in which we will carry out important monitoring work. We are not focused on that match yet, but we will start laying the foundations to analyse our opponent, Argentina. It is wonderful for Spanish football to take part in such a match — against the champions of the world and of South America.”
Unai Simón
“Unai has performed exceptionally throughout this qualifying phase, and today he was very important. There are also other outstanding goalkeepers behind him. In my opinion, out of the ten best goalkeepers in the world, six are Spanish. That is a tremendous advantage for us.”
