Spain squad heading towards legendary status says De la Fuente

Spain manager Luis de la Fuente stated on Friday that his players are progressing towards legendary status similar to the team that secured the nations initial World Cup triumph in 2010 along with the 2008 and 2012 European Championship victories.

De la Fuente guided La Roja to success at Euro 2024 during the previous summer and Spain are nearing qualification for the forthcoming World Cup set for next summer across the United States Mexico and Canada.

Spain face Georgia on Saturday in a Group E qualifier and might secure World Cup qualification should they triumph while Turkey falter against Georgia in the alternate fixture.

I hope all the players could be immortalised meaning they endure in everyones thoughts forming a side akin to those from 2008 2010 2012 which achieved legendary fame and endures eternally De la Fuente remarked during a press briefing.

I feel this squad is advancing towards that milestone. It seems they have achieved significant feats and numerous players possess chances to forge history and create enduring impressions for supporters.

I think that represents the greatest accolade a professional can attain.

Spain have triumphed in all four qualifying encounters thus far netting 15 goals without conceding.

They will lack Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal for the remaining qualifiers after freeing him from duties due to invasive therapy on a groin issue at his club.

The Spanish football association on Tuesday expressed surprise and dismay upon discovering Yamal had already received the treatment rendering him unavailable for international duty.

De la Fuente sought to ease tensions when questioned on Spains ties with Barcelona.

Our connections with every club are excellent and there is room for enhancement. We strive to advance in every area but the priority is enhancing tomorrows showing to defeat Georgia De la Fuente noted.

The finest update concerns the upcoming time Lamine will spend with us he added.

We must focus on the now and the ahead the now involves depending on our available players exceptional talents aiming to prevail tomorrow that is our focus.

In addition to Yamal absences include Nico Williams Dani Carvajal and Rodri Hernandez all vital to De la Fuente.
