De La Fuente: We're pleased, but we must keep improving

Spain's head coach, Luis de la Fuente, expressed his delight with both the result and his team's performance following their dominant 4-0 victory over Saudi Arabia.

"While our objectives remain consistent, each match presents a unique challenge. We delivered an exceptional first half, and the second was equally strong, which instills confidence as we approach the remaining fixtures. The upcoming match against Uruguay will be particularly tough.

Before the game, we emphasized the need for more direct attacking play and increased intensity, and we saw that from the very first minute. We pressed our opponents deep into their own half. We are pleased with the outcome, but we must continue to improve.

Rodri also had a fantastic game, Yamal is now in perfect condition to play a full match, and what can we say about Oyarzabal? He overcame a minor issue, which I won't elaborate on, to deliver an outstanding performance.

No one enjoys having their abilities questioned, as was the case for us after the first match, and the players' reaction was entirely logical," De la Fuente stated.
