""My job is to maintain a healthy relationship. I've spoken with both of them and I know these things happen in football, at such a competitive level," he told Marca. "You have to distinguish between what happens on the pitch and what it means to be on the national team. They know this and are eager to see each other and give each other a hug.""
""Being a favorite doesn't guarantee anything. There are other teams just as much favorites as Spain: France, Argentina, Brazil, England, Portugal... There are many capable of winning the World Cup," he added. "Being considered one of them makes me proud, especially because nothing has been handed to us. Being number one in the FIFA ranking is the result of good work and having an exceptional generation of footballers.""
There is no problem between Lamine Yamal and Dani Carvajal; both players are said to be eager to see one another and reconcile. The two clashed during the latest Clasico following pre-match comments by Yamal, while Carvajal is currently sidelined with an injury. Both players aim to link up again for World Cup 2026. On-pitch incidents are treated as separate from national-team relationships, and the players reportedly understand that distinction. Spain enters the tournament among the favourites but faces strong rivals such as France, Argentina, Brazil, England, and Portugal.
