STATEMENT FROM FUENTE ON MORATA
Fuente also spoke about Galatasaray player Alvaro Morata, who has not had the chance to play in the last two matches. In response to the question, "Why hasn't Morata played in the last matches?", Fuente said, "He is the captain of the team and no matter how many minutes he gets, he continues to be an important player. Because he is a team player, loved by his teammates, and he does his best on the field."
''WE APPRECIATE HIS WORK''
Continuing his remarks, the Spanish coach stated, "We appreciate the work he does off the spotlight, in the camps. Morata is extraordinary and still has the desire to play football. Spain is a team, and that is our strength."
