The eight years that Luis de la Fuente spent in Seville as a player and coach were present during the press conference he held on Wednesday, starting by confessing, "I am happy to be back in Seville."

 

The match against Scotland is already on the mind of the Rioja-born coach, expecting "a very tough match against a very strong opponent whom we respect a lot and know will demand our best version. We are stronger and a better team than the one that played in Glasgow. Now it's time to show it and start by winning tomorrow."

A victory against the British team would put Spain close to the top and on the verge of achieving the objective, something De la Fuente takes into account, stating, "the mere possibility of almost securing qualification for the Euros shows the importance of these two matches. Tomorrow's match almost opens the doors to our qualification."

Individual names such as Ansu Fati, Lamine Yamal, Bryan Zaragoza, Jesús Navas, Álvaro Morata, or Mikel Oyarzabal have also been discussed, but the coach focuses more on the entire group and "a team like ours that conveys confidence, security, responsibility, and talent. It reassures me a lot," he concluded, hopeful for a victory in Thursday's match.
