Luis de la Fuente, coach of Spain's national football team, stresses the need to maintain their competitive edge as they face the Netherlands in the Nations League. After a 2-2 draw in the first leg, Spain aims to seal the deal at home while holding an impressive unbeaten streak of 22 competitive matches. De la Fuente warns that success can lead to complacency but believes that the team's character and values will be crucial in overcoming challenges. The upcoming match is positioned as critical, likened to a potential European Championship final.
"The problem with winning is that you get used to it and it's hard [if you] lose your edge," he said. "We want to continue in this dynamic, knowing that every day the challenges are more difficult."
"This is a group of exceptional football players, but we also give special importance to values, I always say that you have to have good people to be able to manage a dressing room."
"This fixture could very well be the final of the European Championship. This is very difficult and more difficult every day."
"Suffering and the ability to overcome it is something this team has. I don't know this sport without suffering."
