Spanish national team coach De La Fuente attended the press conference, explaining the personnel selection of the latest roster, and talking about topics such as Morata's defeat, the Golden Ball Award, and the team's future direction.

Why is Morata not included in the roster this time?

This is a completely technical decision. Morata was very important to us in the past, now and in the future. He failed to be selected this time because in the tactical scenario we set for the two opponents, Georgia and Bulgaria, there are other players who can bring us something different that we will need at that time. He is very important and will still be in the future. He is still playing football and I believe he will have a really good season and we will celebrate it.

How to evaluate the return of players such as Marcos Llorente, Pablo Barrios and Alles Baenna?

They can contribute to the team in their current state and perfectly fit our game plan. This is their moment. At other times we have chosen other types of players and now it’s time to choose them because they are having a great season, in good shape and are always within our scope of sight. Marcos has been away from the national team longer and has been close to being selected several times before, but it is not easy to enter such a big roster because there are too many excellent players.

What do you think about some controversy caused by Yamal's injury?

We have two very important games and they should not be placed in a secondary position. Frick (remarks) are the fifth thing. That was just the statement of someone who had served as the national team coach, and the important thing was that we were going to fight for the World Cup. It doesn't matter what everyone says.

Do you regret the results of the Golden Globes?

I would rather any Spanish player win the award. Spanish football deserved the honor when Rodri won the award in the past, just like Xavi, Iniesta or Raul. I would give the trophy to any Spanish player, even though Dembele deserves it, he has had a great season.

Some new faces were recruited this time. Is this a signal of the team's innovation?

It is obvious that we have a lot of injuries in the European Cup squad, so some players have gained opportunities due to injuries to their teammates. This is football, and they can show their potential. We have a very solid foundation, the oldest player on the team is only 30 years old, and we are one of the youngest national teams in the world. There is no so-called innovation
