MADRID, 27 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish international Dani Olmo has assured that the coach Luis de la Fuente is “a direct coach and that he is always face to face”, as well as having “clear things”, and he hopes that together with him they can “continue winning” in the absolute as they already did in the lower categories.
“He is a direct coach, who is always face to face. He knows what he wants, he is offensive, he wants to attack and he has things clear. He conveys his idea very clearly to us and it only depends on us to do as he tells us. It has gone well for us, because in the Sub-21 we got the title and in the Olympic Games, the silver medal. In the absolute we want to continue winning,” he said in an interview with the official media of the selection.
Despite having coincided with many of the current top footballers in his time at ‘la Rojita’, Olmo believes that the coach from La Rioja will demand the same from them as from the new summons. “I have been lucky to be able to work with him, and with many players who are now here, in the Under-21s. We were able to win the European Championship and later we played in the Olympic Games. Now it’s time for the senior team. Nobody is going to give us anything, “He always tells us; even if he knows us better, he demands us like everyone else. This demand will always be good for the group,” he said.
In another order of things, the Catalan assured that football “is an improvisational sport” and that it focuses on having tools to be able to respond in matches. “There are some aspects that you have to have prepared, but football is an improvisational sport. You never know how the opponent is going to turn out; you can intuit it, but maybe during the game it can change, there is improvisation and decision-making. decisions of each player. I try to improve it and always be attentive”, he stressed.
“The visualization of the matches helps me a lot. I imagine my positions, where I am going to be on the field, I imagine what the rival can do, what I can do, the solutions… That helps, but in the game something different can happen and it is totally improvisation”, he concluded.
