Spain-France/ Deschamp is not bothered by criticism, De La Fuente: Spain's

Spain comes as one of the absolute favorites to win the European Championship, but before the big final they have an obstacle in front of them. The Iberians face France, in a challenge where both teams want victory at all costs, in order to move on.

In the press conference before the match, the coach of Spain, Luis De La Fuente, admitted the difficulties, saying that in front of them they have a quality and strong team. However, he appeared confident of a positive result despite the absences.

"France has tremendous potential and it's obvious. They have a quality team, full of important names and for that I expect a very strong, hard-fought match. I don't want to put pressure on the opponent, but France is the team that made the best performances in this European, at least that's the impression they made on me. Mbappe is unpredictable, he never disappears. We have a very good team, we've been working hard these days we are ready for this match. Yamal must continue to be himself and continue to learn. We have other players who have stood out in this European, but not us because we have known them for a long time some absences, but we have a very united team and our strength is the group," declared the coach of Spain.

On the other side, the coach of France, Didier Deschamps, highly praised the opponent, saying that the midfield is their strong weapon. But, like De La Fuente, the Roosters coach is confident his team will reach the grand final.

"Spain is the team that has impressed the most in this tournament and we have to give them credit for that. In fact, even Spanish clubs are known for controlling the ball. The midfield is Spain's strongest weapon. If you don't like our games, then you can see other matches. This is a special competition, very difficult for everyone. It is true that we have scored less goals and we have given emotions to the French people with the results achieved he was in the best shape against Spain. He suffered a problem in his back and then came the injury to his nose, which forces him to play with a mask. However, he is also used to the mask," said Deschamps.

The match between Spain and France is scheduled to be played this Tuesday evening, starting at 21:00.
