Spain boss goes crazy for Fermin ahead of Euro 2024
’Fermín is pure energy’
Spain boss Luis de la Fuente has been full of praise for Fermin Lopez after including the Barcelona youngster in his squad for Euro 2024.
Lopez has got the nod after an impressive breakthrough season for Barcelona and shone on his debut last time out against Andorra.
De la Fuente says he’s been a bit surprised by Lopez but is expecting big things from the Barcelona youngster.
“Before coming here I was already clear about the tactical structure and who I was going to call-up. Fermín is pure energy. There are no comparisons to make, but there are things that remind me of Gavi,” he said.
“He has a very dynamic talent, he links up well, he has an energy that is contagious. I didn’t know him and I loved it. We’re going to see a lot of good things in a short period of time from this player.”
Spain play Northern Ireland later today before heading out to Germany. Their first game is against Croatia on Saturday, June 15th.
