Delafuente: Yamal is destined to be a legend The best goalkeepers in the world today are all Spanish

Spanish national team coach Dela Fuente celebrated his 64th birthday. On this occasion of his birthday, Dela Fuente accepted an exclusive interview with Le Marca.

Congratulations to the coach on his 64th birthday!

Drafuente: "Thank you sincerely. I have been in the 64th year, whether it is personal, family or sports career."

How to evaluate the past year?

Drafuente: "This year's journey is outstanding, brilliant and perfect. We won the European Cup and won the runner-up of the European League, especially gaining wide recognition from the people." How will

celebrate your birthday?

de La Fuente: "I will first go to the Healthy Jesus Church in Ayala Street for Mass, and then the President of the Larioja Association will award me the Golden Pepper Award. I am very excited to give this honor to the people of my hometown. In addition, I will also attend a seminar organized by the coaching committee and gather with Roberto Martinez, Scarloni, Bielsa and others."

The outside world is generally optimistic that Spain will win the World Cup next year.

Delafuente: "The most urgent task is to advance to the finals. The two away matches between Bulgaria and Turkey in September were extremely difficult. We will only consider the World Cup after qualifying. It is certainly a pleasure to be favored, but we always remain sober. The team is strong and top-notch, but we will still be humble and enterprising when we go out."

Will Rodri and Kavajal be on the September training list?

de La Fuente: "Of course welcoming! Rodri is getting better, and Carvajal is also expected to play in the Club World Cup. As long as the two talented players who are outstanding on and off the court allow, the national team's door will always be open. Having such a player is the pride of the entire team and the head coach." Will Morata return to the national team?

de La Fuente: "Morata is always the best candidate, as long as he is willing to return to the team at any time. The national team will always open the door to him! He is a crucial existence on and off the court. As long as he is in good condition and willing, we will warmly welcome it. Morata knows clearly that he will be embraced at any time. As the captain, the door is always open, but the most important thing is his physical and mental health, and we respect all his choices."

This year is Yamal's year.

Dela Fuente: "There is no doubt that he is growing at an amazing speed. I reiterate: This child is destined to be a legend! Although certain links still need to be carved and carefully cultivated, he is making rapid progress. Let him understand that all teammates will do their best to help him achieve legends, whether in the national team or in the club. This young man is indeed amazing."

He and Nico Williams are about to meet in Barcelona.

Dela Fuente: "Another genius! The specific development depends on the opportunity in the football world. But Nico will also be a legendary figure who creates history. It is our pride to have such excellent young players. They bring countless joys. I sincerely wish them a good harvest in both personal and professional life."

Will Joan Garcia be selected for the national team after signing with Barcelona?

Delafuente: "This goalkeeper has outstanding strength! He once played for my U21 echelon and will definitely be selected for the roster. We need to observe our state after the start of the new season, but note that the best goalkeepers in the world today are Espanyol, and they all belong to the national team! I made it clear: they are the top in the world, and we are deeply proud. When the time is right, Huoan will naturally wear the national team's jersey."

Denia has an excellent U21 record.

de La Fuente: "Extremely outstanding! Note that he just led the team to win the Olympic gold medal from the French in Paris! This coach is talented and hopes that he can achieve all his goals. Don't forget that the U19 echelon coached by Galardo is also a brilliant record."

Are you paying attention to the Club World Cup?

de La Fuente: "Of course! The atmosphere of the game is hot, which is of great reference value for preparing for next year's event. Some teams seem to be on vacation, while others have entered the rhythm of the season. We will make a comprehensive analysis after the event is over. I sincerely hope that the Spanish team may have teams with Spanish players who will win the championship."

Has the vacation time been determined?

de La Fuente: "It is expected to take a few days off at the end of July. You need to go to the "Youth City" training base in Leganes City, and you have to go to Las Palmas to attend the Football Association meeting. Of course you have to watch the game! But no matter what, you have to take time to rest and recharge."
