Despite the last suffering, Happy ended the Spanish coach, Luis de la Fuente, after a triumph against France of the strangest, more typical for a pre -season match than of a semi -final of the Nations League. The current champions received 5-1, a small hand that the Gauls did not receive since 1968 in an official league match, but broke in the last part and even asked for time.
The fact is that the Red on Sunday will play the final against Portugal in Munich, where he can chain his third consecutive title: ‘Nations’, Eurocup and again ‘Nations’. A barbarism in such a young team and with a force in extraordinary attack, although it is also useful from this game against France to get a lesson from what cannot be done when the game is resolved early.
«I am very happy. It was a very important, very difficult game, with alternatives and between two of the best in the world. Each made use of his moment, but luckily the game chose us. It is not easy to set five goals on a rival, and less with a rival of the potential of France. I spoke with the French coach and we agree that it is nice to see these kinds of competitions, with so many figures, ”the Rioja coach reflected.
He was asked in RTVE if he does not believe that in the last part of the last part that other football should have dealt that a classic like José Antonio Camacho always spoke: “That is the theory, what people cancel, but sometimes it doesn’t leave you. We could have break the game and stop the game, but it is difficult if you have such a powerful rival in front. But, I repeat, hopefully all the games end like that, “he replied.
When the interrogation of Lamine Yamal and Unai Simón, the two best players in Spain, used the opportunity to claim both, especially the athletic goalkeeper, in whom he absolutely maintains trust despite his long injury and the enormous season made by Joan García. “I am very happy for Lamine, who is the best player in the world and earns the Golden Ball. And especially for Unai, who is very abused and interrogated, and I hope he will be recognized.”
The final against Portugal?: «I am waiting for a great game against a great, balanced rival and can be similar to today. Now you have to restore the players from the great efforts they have made. I am very excited to face Portugal because it is another rival with joy in attack, like us, and it can be a great final ».
Lamine Yamal: “It’s normal for them to make you suffer”
Lamine Yamal, chosen as the best player of the semi -final after signing a double against France, seemed pretty serious in Teledport. “They are players of world class and eventually let you suffer, it’s normal, but we are very happy for the victory,” said Barça Star and the Spanish team.
The final of Sunday against Portugal?: «We are two very good selections and will certainly win the best, hopefully it will be Spain. Is the Golden Ball closer after seeing his performance and Dembélé’s?: “I play football and get up in the morning to give everything and that my team wins, not to compete with great players for individual titles.”
Merino: “At the highest level you cannot give a game for facts.”
Mikel Merino, the great architect of Triumph against Germany in the same phase during the Eurocup, scored again against France and opened the path of victory. “It was like a ‘déjà vu’. Another goal in Stuttgart, another great day for me and mine here, and another return to the corner flag after scoring, “said the eccentrocicist of the Real, converted to striker Com Mikel Arteta in Arsenal.
The last suffering?: «The truth is that we did not expect that we would ask for time, but this shows that in the elite at the highest level you cannot take a game for granted until the last beep. If we have failed the armed forces, they have done us wrong, but proud of the team, that will fight for another title ». The final?: “Portugal has an incredible quality, just like France, and will be one of those games that we all like to play.”
