De la Fuente: I am sad about what happened to the world champions | Goal.com
Luis de la Fuente remains at the centre of the sporting scene after guiding La Roja to World Cup glory this summer.
Speaking to Spanish National Radio about the latest developments in Spanish sport, the coach was asked about the scenes in Bilbao when Laporte, Nico Williams and Unai Simon presented the World Cup to fans at the stadium. His verdict was blunt: "I feel sorry about the boos at San Mames."
He pointed to his "18 years in this house", insisting the reaction respected neither Spain's World Cup triumph nor the players who delivered it. These, after all, are the club's own sons, boys who grew up and trained at the Lezama academy.
De la Fuente also addressed the difficult immigration situation in Ceuta. Asked about the sensitive subject, he said: "The first ones who should reclaim their lives are the people of Ceuta, who have seen in one way or another that their normal lives have come to a halt."
On the prospect of Spain hosting the 2030 World Cup final, the coach left little doubt where he stood. "As the host nation, there are many possibilities, and I am in favour of the final being held here in our country."You can discuss the topics and news in more depth in the "Kooora" forums
