The Spanish national football team is gearing up for its final match of the year, and coach Luis de la Fuente has made it clear that the goal is to finish with a win against Switzerland. However, the coach will also use the game to give minutes to less regular players and provide opportunities to emerging talents.

One name that seems to be solidifying under his leadership is Marc Casadó, the young midfielder from FC Barcelona. De la Fuente didn’t hold back in praising him: “He’s a fantastic player. I didn’t know him personally, but he’s a sensible and mature guy. He has qualities that allow him to perform in high-pressure situations. He has a great future.”

Confidence in the Next Generation

The coach reaffirmed his commitment to the evolution of Spanish football, emphasizing the importance of identifying and supporting the next stars of the sport: “It’s my job to know the present and future of our football. The impact of players like Samu and others shows the quality we have in Spain. There are players in the background who will gradually get their opportunities.”

De la Fuente highlighted that Spanish football is in excellent health and that he will continue to promote a mix of experience and youth in the team.

Finishing with Ambition and Responsibility

Despite the planned changes in the starting lineup, the coach remains focused on maintaining the team’s prestige: “Our obligation is to win. We represent the country, and our reputation is at stake. We started this journey ranked 11th in the FIFA Ranking, and now we have the chance to be first. We couldn’t ask for more.”

Spain is looking to close a year full of progress, consolidating itself not only as a strong team in the present but also with a promising future thanks to the inclusion of new talent.
