De la Fuente criticized the new League of Nations format

The head coach of the Spanish national team, Luis de la Fuente, negatively assessed the innovation in the League of Nations format. In his opinion, the previous system of holding the tournament was more comfortable for the players. UEFA previously approved changes that would see the Nations League remain three instead of four. At the same time, the current drawing of the tournament will have a transitional nature. De la Fuente noted that the new system could create additional challenges due to a tight calendar and lengthy relocations. "I don't like this format. I preferred the previous one. We have four matches with a very high load waiting for us. In some cases, long moves and trips await us. I preferred the former format, when there was more time for rest and more attention was paid to the health of football players," said the coach. It was previously reported that the Spanish national team will extend the contract with de la Fuente until the 2030 World Cup.
