The head coach of the Spanish national team, Luis de la Fuente, spoke about the team's status as one of the main contenders to win the 2026 World Cup.
"You're considered one of the leading contenders. How do you handle such expectations in the locker room?"
"I liked that you said 'one of the leading contenders'. The field of contenders is very strong - I don't remember anything like that at the last World Cup. There are several leading teams that are trying to win the title. This should not burden us. Our hard work and excellent team play have led us to this result. This is the result of our approach," de la Fuente said in an interview with FIFA's official website.
