Spain morale is sky high after Italy win: coach Luis de la Fuente

Firstpost  

Luis de la Fuente had been criticised heavily after his first two matches in March, the second of which was a defeat by Scotland. Spain coach Luis de la Fuente said his team’s morale was “sky high” after they beat Italy on Thursday to reach the Nations League final against Croatia. We’re happy and our morale is sky-high.” The coach handed Robin Le Normand his debut after the French-born defender obtained Spanish nationality in May, and the Real Sociedad player impressed despite conceding an early penalty for handball. “We have seen him so many times, I was very calm, he’s shown he’s top draw, he’s cool-headed, he’s another player for the cause and the future of Spanish football,” said De la Fuente. “ doesn’t surprise us, that’s how he is, he’s very good.” Italy coach Roberto Mancini said he wished he had approached the second half with more attacking intent.
