Luis de la Fuente: 'We dedicate this victory to all those affected by the floods.'

After a hard-fought victory over Denmark to secure finishing top of their Nations League group, the national team coach spoke to reporters at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen. Luis de la Fuente began the conference by stressing that the victory was 'dedicated to all those affected by the tragedy in our country'. I would like to thank the Danish fans for the respectful minute's silence before the game," the coach added.

“The performance is good news, we are happy because we have a fantastic youth in the team and that gives us great alternatives. I want to highlight this victory, regardless of the analysis people might do, because we won in a very difficult stadium against a team that put a lot of pressure on us. It was a hard-fought game and I would like to congratulate the team because they want to win every single day," said Luis de la Fuente.

A little self-critical, the coach insisted: "We lacked a little finesse to keep the game going our way, but I would like to really stress the fact that we played against a very strong team and in a very difficult environment. Overall, I think we dominated the chances in the game. I think we could have won the game 3-0. We know we have to suffer because this is high-level football.

As for the injured players, Luis de la Fuente admitted that they will assess the situation, that they will not take any risks, but that they need as many players as possible to continue competing at their very best. And he insisted that "there are other players who could bring something new to this team".
