Luis de la Fuente, head coach of the Spanish national team, expressed his satisfaction following La Roja’s thrilling 3-2 victory over Switzerland in the UEFA Nations League. The reigning European champions fielded an experimental lineup, providing opportunities for younger talents to shine on the big stage.

A Tough Test Against Quality Opposition

De la Fuente was full of praise for his squad’s resilience against a formidable Swiss side.

"I'm very pleased with tonight's performance," said De la Fuente. "Football, as we know, is a level playing field, and many teams are at an excellent standard. That’s why I want to commend my team for the way we worked to overcome such a strong opponent like Switzerland."

He added, "My players showed incredible composure in the face of adversity, and I’m thrilled with how they handled the challenges."

Confidence in Spain’s New Generation

The match showcased the depth of Spain’s talent pool, with several young players stepping up in the absence of regular starters. De la Fuente was effusive in his praise for the emerging stars.

"I have outstanding players—arguably the best," he said. "I strive to make them feel confident and at ease, and I’m clear in communicating my vision to them. It’s truly an honor to work with this generation of footballers—they make my job so much easier."

He continued, "Today, I gave young players the chance to prove themselves because we have a strong present and a promising future. All they need are opportunities and confidence. Every time I call up new players, they rise to the occasion and never let me down."
