De la Fuente was insistently asked during the interview after the convocation of the young striker’s presence in the group, as he had just returned as a starter after his weeks of absence. “The risk in football and sport always exists. If he is playing at the club, he is taking his risks. We are talking about completely normal situations,” said the commander of ‘Roja’.

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick had accused the Spanish team of scaled Yamal despite the pain he felt in the last date in September. “There is no conflict with Flick. I was simply surprised by these statements, because he was coach of the Germany team and I thought he had this empathy for the coaches of teams,” said de la Fuente at a news conference.

“We have two very important matches, which we are playing for the World Cup. It looks like this is in a fourth or fifth plan and we are talking about Flick,” said the coach, visibly bothered by the questions.

Spain leads the group and the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup with six points, after having defeated Bulgaria 3-0 and Turkey 6-0 in the first two games.
