In his statement, the experienced coach said, "We will be on the field with our best plan and game. Every match we play is our most important match.

In the 6th and final match of Group E of the 2026 FIFA World Cup European Qualifiers, Spain will face Turkey. Spain's head coach Luis de La Fuente made statements at a press conference before the match.
'WE WILL TAKE THE FIELD WITH OUR BEST SQUAD'
Stating that they will take the field with their best squad, Fuente said, "The match against Turkey means more than just prestige for us. We want to go to the World Cup, and we have a responsibility towards our fans. We have almost completely finished the direct qualification process as the first. We want to extend our unbeaten streak to 31 matches. We want to win, and my players' condition is very good. There will be no rotation in our squad tomorrow; it will be a very serious and high-level match. We will take the field with our responsibility and respect. We will be on the field with our best plan and game. Every match we play is our most important match. We will take the field with our best squad to win this match. We want to win. We have 25 players, and they all want to play. We have complete confidence in the quality and capacity of everyone, no matter who it is," he said.
'INJURIES ARE MORE OF A CONCERN FOR US'
Reminding that Spain is in a more difficult situation regarding injuries than Turkey, the Spanish coach said, "Let's not talk about injuries; we have more injuries. Football is like that. Injuries create opportunities for other players. This way, they can show their capacity. We would have liked injured players to play, but we will not call anyone. We have very good players in our team, and players who have not had this opportunity in Turkey can also perform well. I know many of your players," he stated.
'WE CONTINUE WITH A SPECIFIC FOOTBALL SYSTEM'
Addressing the reasons for Spain's success in recent years, Luis de la Fuente said, "Spain has become a favorite in tournaments in recent years. The secret here is that good work is being done in clubs in Spanish football; we have very good coaches, and as the Spain team, we have a model, and we continue with a specific football system. We are improving this every day. To achieve something, it is necessary to believe in the system and the players, in addition to training," he said.
