Ticking off boxes ahead of the eagerly awaited start
The preparation period for the Olympic National Football Team has officially ended. The team coached by Santi Denia played a behind closed doors warm-up match at the sports city of Girondins de Bordeaux before leaving Bordeaux. A duel that was very useful for the coach in view of what is to come: ‘Always learning about the squad, adjusting things to the objectives achieved in terms of workloads and tactics. It was an important preparation match that helped us’.

The Olympic team travels tomorrow Friday to the capital of France, where they will stay in the Olympic Village. Something that brings them closer to the long-awaited opening match, a prospect that fills Santi Denia with joy: ‘I'm looking forward to arriving in Paris and starting the competition and, above all, I'm really looking forward to the 24th’.
In Paris, the Spain squad will meet up with Fermín López. The recently crowned European champion will join the rest of the internationals to finally form a group of 22 in order to battle to make everyone’s dreams come true: ‘After the days of preparations in Madrid, the idea was that we would all be there to do more work, more group and more family’.
