Head coach of the national team Spain Luis de la Fuente appreciated his team’s performance in the European Football Championship match with Italians .
The Group B match, which took place in Gelsenkirchen, ended with a score of 1:0. In the 55th minute, Italian defender Riccardo Calafiori sent the ball into his own goal.
The Spaniards scored six points and secured their place in the 1/8 finals of the tournament. The Italians occupy second place with 3 points.
“This might be the best game I’ve ever played.” We played against an excellent world-class team. We were in control and the only downside was that we failed to convert more chances. I am proud that my players have infinite ambitions. We knew when to press, when to play vertically, when to control the ball. I thought we were incredible defensively. The team was so good that I am extremely proud of them,” de la Fuente said, as quoted by the official UEFA website.
In the next round, on June 24, the Spaniards will meet the Albanians.
