The coach held a press conference at the La Cartuja stadium in Seville to analyze the match between Spain and Scotland in the Euro 2024 Championship qualifying match to be played in Germany this Thursday (21.00). He had a smile on his face because “As you can tell, I’m very happy to be in Seville. And Bryan Zaragoza was also pleased with this situation and integrated into the group very quickly. Not only from a humanitarian perspective, but also from a football perspective. Of course it could be in the beginning, especially since I just told him to be what he is. I have already said that not being on the shortlist is not a privileged situation. “We followed him and at that moment he was having a great game against Barcelona and we thought it was the best one at that moment.”

Laminate and Ansu

Riojan explained why Lamine went to Madrid even though he was injured: “Laminate came to Madrid because of the protocols, but I wanted to see him, talk to him. “I wanted to convey peace of mind to him because he is a 16-year-old boy and he is focused even though he is injured.” He is a football player who feels free in the national team. It is a pleasure to see him train because he knows that there is love and support in his game and conditions. I trust him blindly. In his daily life “You can see this happiness.” De la Fuente also stated: “Brahim is a player suitable for Spain and he was with me in U-18, U-19 and football. U-20. “He has all the freedom but as far as I know he wants to play for Spain. ”

He made the following warning about the match against Scotland: “This match opens the doors to elimination and is very important for us. The team conveys their trust, responsibility, professionalism and talent. And we draw conclusions regarding Scotland. We are now a stronger and better team than then. Now it’s time to play football and show it. “We will try to win this and future matches”

He confirmed it”Although there are those affected, all our players are available, but we will wait until the last minute. I expect a very tough match from Scotland because they are a very strong opponent and the results show this with all the matches won and a ranking. Scotland will demand the best version of us.” And he explained with a laugh: “You learn everything in life and I don’t read that much press anymore.”
