While De la Fuente has devoted himself to Gavi, he has at the same time found “a miserable review. Holding a coach responsible when a player is healthy, who came from not playing on Sunday at the weekend…if another player is injured, nothing happens?“.
De la Fuente revealed that he even had to stop the footballer because “the day before, while everyone was recovering. Gavi was already with the ball and wanted to get to work with the other teammates.”

One of these cases, for example, was that of Sergio Ramos about whom “things were said that were not true. “Private conversations die with me.” De la Fuente informed him that she would not count on him as “deference to a person I trained at age 15 and made the decision to bet on other players.”
Tired of the ‘Ramos case’
De la Fuente clarified that “the doors of the selection are open to everyone, but if he doesn’t come, it will be for somethingeither. It is for a subjective aspect, which is mine. The facts speak for themselves.” The Riojan understands that the debate about Ramos is “sterile, let’s talk about those who are there.”
The coach announced that for the March friendlies against Colombia and Brazil “I will take the best on the March list. “If I see someone tired, as I have shown in other situations, they have not come.”
He also insisted again that he is not worried about his renewal, which ends on June 30 in the middle of the Eurocup because “Both parties have to agree. I am happy in my house, from the Federation have transmitted the same thing to me. “We will look for the right moment.”
Women’s Football
On its relationship with women’s football, De la Fuente commented that “I have had an exceptional relationship with Jorge Vilda, I have an exceptional and close relationship with Montse Tomé. Also with the women’s coaching staff.”
Regarding the preparation of his list, De la Fuente commented that “There are a series of mandatory values. A good person is a team member who is generous, a good colleague, who works for the common good.. For me that is being a good person in the football aspect.”
In this sense, he pointed out that “a bad day due to bad behavior by a player leaves you out of a European competition and this has happened to me.”
