Fernando Hierro praises Spain's cohesion and character at FIFA World Cup

Former Spain defender Fernando Hierro said he likes the "character" of the current national team, praising its cohesion, flexibility and tight‑knit atmosphere. He noted that the squad can change shape, increase tempo or play directly as the game demands, and that this adaptability bodes well for their World Cup chances.

Hierro highlighted the freedom given to young stars such as Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams and Pedri, and credited coach Luis de la Fuente for fostering a strong team spirit, having worked with many of the players from youth level. He reflected on his own generation’s quarter‑final finishes and expressed confidence that the present side’s calmness and unity could carry them further in the tournament.
