The technical commissioner of Spain, Luis de la Fuente, analyzed from the press room of the Veltins-Arena in Gelsenkirchen the match against Italy valid for group B which will begin tomorrow evening at 9.00 pm. Here are some lines: “Are you going to play to win or to draw? No, without a shadow of a doubt we want to win the match, it’s the most important match and this is the match I’m thinking about. We try to think match after match, but it’s certainly a very important challenge for us. We always take the field to get the best, always to win, I wouldn’t know how to play for another result.”
What do you like most about Italy?
“It’s a national team that is very similar to ours, Italy has changed since Spalletti was there, there are many very young players. We also played against them during the European Championship, they have many quality players on the level individual and also experienced players. It will be a bit like looking in the mirror. We are growing as a team, we are trying to work cohesively, they also have important individuals and it will be a very high level and balanced match.”
