Spain national football team begins Nations League preparations

The Spanish national football team has reconvened at Las Rozas to prepare for the upcoming Nations League cycle. Following their recent World Cup victory, the squad held an open training session attended by over 2,000 fans. Head coach Luis de la Fuente has extended his contract until 2032 and is integrating new talent, including Espanyol striker Roberto Fernández, who expressed his excitement about joining the world champions.

Amidst the international break, midfielder Rodri has addressed recent transfer speculation, confirming that Real Madrid showed significant interest in signing him before he ultimately chose to join FC Barcelona. He described the Madrid club’s approach as “exemplary” and noted that the decision was difficult. Additionally, Rodri commented on recent refereeing controversies in Spanish football, stating that accusations of corruption can “do harm to football.”

The team faces a challenging Nations League group featuring England, Croatia, and Czechia, with their first match scheduled against England at Wembley.
