Spain’s national team coach Luis de la Fuente reflected on their commanding 4-0 victory over Saudi Arabia, a match highlighted by goals from Lamin Yamal and Mikel Oyarzabal.
“We delivered an outstanding first half and maintained a solid performance in the second. Most importantly, this result helps us sustain our momentum and approach the upcoming crucial matches with confidence. The game against Uruguay promises to be challenging and demanding.
Everyone agreed that we needed more vertical attacks and greater intensity. That was evident in our shots — from the very first minute, we pressed the opponent and pushed them back into their own penalty area. We are very pleased with this approach, but we must continue to develop and improve.
Lamin is currently in perfect shape to play full matches. And what can be said about Oyarzabal? He had a minor issue — not everything can be disclosed — yet he consistently delivers exceptional performances. Of course, we needed to see how the match would unfold, but today was an important step ahead of the upcoming games. Lamin is already in excellent form, and it was good that we substituted him as we did, leaving him eager to play more,” the specialist told FIFA’s official website.
