De la Fuente: “It was a very clear penalty”

“It was a very clear penalty,” he began From
the
Fountain. “Everything that helps prevent these situations from occurring, of course I am in favor. I am a fervent supporter of VAR. It is curious that two years ago there was VAR and this year there was not. It is not that I am justifying something, but this shows that it helps a lot more than it can harm ”, he reflected.

from
the
Fountain who wanted to praise the work of his players despite the defeat: “I have congratulated them and told them that I am proud of their work and the work we have been doing together.

I feel proud

In addition, he highlighted the fact that the fact of having lost in the semifinals is treated almost as a disappointment: “It's good because you never have to get used to winning.

Of course, we must assess what we achieve regardless of the result, “he said.

Spain fell defeated in front of Portugal by an own goal in the 80th minute despite having led the match: “We have generated enough to have generated us ahead on the scoreboard, but when you do not have that success we obviously know that they are matches so evenly that these small details tip the balance. It is not about playing better or worse, it is about mastering the thousand details “, he analyzed.

“Jorge was not at fault for anything”

That goal came in an action in which Jorge
Basin He tried to clear a center: “Clothed is safe. This group is very close and is almost a family. Jorge has not been at fault for anything, he has gone to perform a soccer action and a strange rebound has come out, “he commented.

Olympics from Tokyo in which he will lead the team that debuts on July 22.
