On July 13, the European Championship final will be played at 3 am on July 15. Before the game, Spain coach De la Fuente defended player Morata, who has been questioned by the media.
De la Fuente said: “Unfortunately, in Spain, we have a hard time recognizing the good things we have. Morata is a clear example. He has world-class data. Fourth all-time goalscorer for Spain, third goalscorer in the European Championship, he has won titles at all levels at top clubs.”
He went on to say: “In another country, he would be a celebrated legend. Here, it’s difficult for us. His claims seem perfectly valid to me, and I support him 100%. It hasn’t caused any conflict within the team, he has the support of all his colleagues. They understand Morata and are saddened by the attitude of some media towards him. He has the support of the entire coaching staff.”
Morata recently said in a media interview that he feels disrespected in Spain, leading him to consider retiring from the national team, which sparked huge controversy.
Morata has played in all 6 of Spain’s games in this European Championship so far, contributing one goal and one assist.
