"The best news is that he has 15 years left with us. We have to think about the present and the future. The present is about relying on the players we have, winning and almost securing qualification, and that is our concern. Everything can be improved, and we will try to improve in all areas, but what we have to improve is tomorrow's performance. We are doing well and we need to keep improving,"
"He is a player who can play in different positions. I have no doubt about him, he is made for the national team. He is the kind of player who, even when he is not doing well at his club, comes in and performs at a very high level. He arrived at the European Championship with physical problems and played at a high level. He is also a great person. Whether he plays or not, whatever he contributes will always be for the good of the team."
Luis de la Fuente accused FC Barcelona of poor communication and of not respecting his decisions after Lamine Yamal was withdrawn late following treatment for pubic discomfort. He later adopted a calmer stance ahead of the Georgia match, stressing that Yamal has many years ahead and that the immediate focus should be on the current squad, winning and securing qualification. De la Fuente said communication can improve and pledged to work on performance. He praised Dani Olmo’s versatility, national-team temperament and ability to perform despite club struggles and prior physical problems.
