Santi Denia and Luis de la Fuente discuss Nations League clash

Following a Nations League match in Oviedo, Czech Republic head coach Santi Denia expressed pride in his team's performance despite the result. Denia noted that while the team was not satisfied with the outcome, he was pleased with their style of play and personal growth. He addressed a controversial moment where a goal by Ryan Naderi was disallowed due to a foul by Lukáš Červ, stating that he respects the referees' decision.

Spanish coach Luis de la Fuente characterized the Czech Republic as a potential trap for opponents who might underestimate them. Despite the personal connection between De la Fuente and Denia, De la Fuente indicated he kept tactical secrets from his compatriot. Spain enters the fixture following victories over England and Croatia, maintaining a significant unbeaten streak in regulation and extra time.
