“I don’t know if the same thing would have happened with Luis Enrique.”
In an interview with the Cadena SER program “El Larguero” Luis de la Fuente addressed several topics related to current events.. Among them are their contract situation or criticism of the national teams due to injuries.
These are some of the most striking phrases:
Your contractual situation
“I have the same conditions as when I was promoted from U-21… It would be fair if I had already signed a contract. I received offers, as usual. What’s abnormal is that the current European champion, I don’t know. If this had ever happened in history, he would not have had a contract. I don’t know if the same thing would have happened with Luis Enrique…”
“I prefer to play the World Cup with Spain before accepting any offers.”
Role of national teams and calendar
“The breeders are not to blame, we are the victims of this situation. Those who coordinate the seasons, the players, are responsible… If I know I have 70 games to play, I might run them differently.” “
Injuries
“Injuries? On average we play 1 game per month. From July to March we play 6 games in 8 months. The problem is not these six, but the previous 70.”
