CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO WHAT NATIONAL COACH LUIS DE LA FUENTE HAD TO SAY BEFORE THE UEFA NATIONS LEAGUE MATCH BETWEEN SPAIN AND SERBIA

The match against Serbia will not be just any old game for Dani Carvajal, who on 4 September celebrates ten years in the Spanish national team jersey and who is already close to 50 appearances for the national team.

In Belgrade, the player from Leganes was surprised by the news of his nomination for the Ballon d'Or after an unforgettable year, in which he could also don the national team armband, something he is particularly excited about because "it will be very nice to represent my country as captain. My close circle knows what that means.

The UEFA Nations League victory with the decisive goal in the penalty shootout or his vital role during the European Championships does not detract from his desire to continue growing for a full-back who says he is "more motivated than ever to continue wearing this shirt after the titles we have won".

Carvajal wanted to highlight the current state of football in our country, stressing that "Spain is returning to the place it deserves in world football". A statement that comes just before the national team begins its defence of the UEFA Europa League crown in Belgrade.

Dani did not hesitate to point out the key to this golden moment for "the national teams, both men's and women's, the youth teams, the Olympic Games...all of this is a consequence of the fact that the RFEF is working very well", he concluded.
