The following is a profile of Luis de la Fuente, the coach who successfully led the Spanish national team to the final of Euro 2024.
The Spanish national team is one of the six favorite teams to win the 2024 European Cup in Germany. However, they are not as widely highlighted as England, France or Germany.
"We are among the competitors who will compete for the championship trophy. We must try to meet expectations and the hope is that we will compete to win." De la Fuente exclaimed as reported by the Daily Star.
De la Fuente was then able to prove his words. He made Alvaro Morata et al appear very impressive. They appeared solid as a team. They play compactly and are often able to dominate the game.
The performance of the players is also very charming. Starting from Unai Simon to the young duo at the front, Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal.
