Luis de la Fuente: “Ansu? He needs tranquility, play …”

Brahim Evolution: “He is performing extremely well, he is reaching the level of continuity, confidence and maturity. It's very important. Winning that space seems extraordinary to me. It is the merit of a player who has the talent and ambition to be important in such important clubs as Milam. The more footballers of this level there are, the better for football, I have always said that I would like them to be in Spain, but it is very good for Spanish football. “

Miguel Gutiérrez is there and Antonio Blanco is not: “I have said that we always seek the balance between those who play and those who do not in their clubs. Sometimes they don't have all the minutes we would like because they are very young. Antonio's problem is that this situation continues. I think that young people should compete, it is the way to grow and progress. But I insist that it is very difficult at that age, especially in certain clubs. But we continue to count on Antonio, he will have his time and I'm sure he will have a stake in his club ”.

Summon Ansu Fati: “We celebrate the reappearance of Ansu, he is a fantastic footballer and much loved by us for his total and absolute commitment. He is a player who has been with the Absolute but we consider that now he needs time, pause, tranquility … I always said it at the time with that appearance he had. He needs peace of mind, to play … naturally and calmly, without precipitating any situation ”.
