“I am happy with the performance and the image. These are games that get stuck, these rivals defend themselves very stuck in a low block and it is not easy to attack them. We wanted to score goals and more goals, I am happy,” said Luis de la Fuente.
The Spanish coach declared himself more than satisfied with the insistence of his non-conformist team, determined to maximize their scoring capacity: “It is very difficult to achieve goals of this caliber because all the teams defend themselves very well.”
Mikel Merino, author of one of Spain's six goals, had words of praise for his teammates ("There have been two thrashing games and that speaks well of the team. They show that we take into account that we should not give away a minute and that we know that every goal in the end can count. That's what professionals do, being focused on what they have to do. But we don't do math, we don't think about winning three of the last four games, but about winning all four"), and also for Lamine Yamal, the latest pearl of football in our country: "He is a child because of his age, but he behaves like an adult in a world of adults."
"Lamine Yamal has a lot of self-confidence. We have a star who is bringing out the best he has, and he still has room for improvement," said Joselu, who added a goal and an assist, while celebrating the red's ability to " to get rid of the risks of a cheating match.
De la Fuente agreed with these reflections in relation to Lamine Yamal: "Situations that could block another player, he resolves naturally. But we must help him train, and his club has the best trainers. He has tremendous potential, but he will go through peaks that will have to be assumed".
