Luis de la Fuente: Playing four matches in ten days isn't ideal

Luis de la Fuente: Playing four matches in ten days isn't ideal Luis de la Fuente spoke at a press conference ahead of tomorrow’s England-Spain match. This is what the coach of the reigning world champions had to say... Playing at Wembley "It’s the best stage possible and a real source of motivation. There’s very little to say to the players against an opponent like this, almost nothing. It’s an exceptional ground, a wonderful setting. I’m sure the atmosphere will live up to what this match means. We’re happy to be back in action with the national team and to unveil the second star against an opponent like England". Will you field the same XI that made us world champions, or a different one? "No, tomorrow we’ll play the ones we believe are right for this match. We’ll try to get the lineup right. There are players who are in better or worse shape than they were two months ago". Will there be any complacency? "I guarantee there won’t be any complacency. I know these players and I know they want to keep winning and keep making history. The hunger has to be constant, and this team has it. What we’ve done so far is not enough for us. This team has huge room for improvement". The new international break "No one asked me about it, of course. Nobody brought it up. In 10 days we’re playing four matches, which is a very high demand, with travel and everything. We’re happy to play, but it’s not the most suitable setup, that’s how we see it." Tomorrow’s XI "We’ve decided it. All I can say is that we’re very happy with the players we have. There are always changes. One cycle ends, another begins... We regret Marcos Llorente’s absence, but we’re very happy with Eric, Porro, Fresneda... The players coming through give us a lot of peace of mind".
