De la Fuente: Yamal continues to grow and wants to show the world his level

The head coach of the world and European champion Spanish national team Luis de la Fuente commented on the victory over Croatia (4:1) in the second round match of the Nations League group stage.

"Our opponent defended well and was strong in aerial duels, so we had to remain vigilant at all times. After conceding a goal, we regained possession and took control of the match.

As for Yamal, he continues to grow and wants to show the world his level and the kind of player he is. His humility makes him even better. In the future, Yamal will gain even greater recognition for his actions and his contribution to the team's play," Marca quotes the coach as saying.

As a reminder, Lamine Yamal, a forward for Spanish champions Barcelona, scored twice for the Spanish national team, while Atletico Madrid defender Marc Pubill and Athletic Bilbao midfielder Nico Williams each found the net once.

Spain will face the Czech Republic on October 3 in the third round of the Nations League group stage.
