“I haven’t had much time to be around (in Manchester, after his recent signing for Manchester City), but I think we’ve earned respect, the European Championship will be very close, but we’ve earned respect for everything we’ve done. achieved these years”, stressed Ouahabi at a press conference from the City of Football in Las Rozas.
Spain starts the week with their minds set on their next match, on June 25 against Australia, the first warm-up friendly for the European Championship since the 28-player training camp began. “The days off have gone well, it was necessary to return with recharged batteries. We face the week with great enthusiasm, to prepare for the next game, which will be good to see how we are”, he commented.
“Each training session serves to put us to the test. The game we played between us the other day demanded the highest level of us, it goes very well to see how we are, our feelings and continue to get to know each other better. It helps us to improve and polish things,” she said on the dynamics of concentration training.

If we do it as we know and as we have prepared, things will come by themselves,” he said about where Spain’s options go.
“I don’t know if we are a predictable team, but we are players who have been together for many years, we know each other very well, we understand each other on and off the pitch. It is good and positive to have that connection, we have been sharing a dressing room for many years,” concluded Ouahabi.
