Meanwhile, Spain coach Luis de la Fuente has been asked by reporters about this potential showdown with France throughout the tournament, but particularly since the start of the knockout rounds two weeks ago. He has been uniformly complimentary of Les Bleus while echoing his own players’ confidence.
“Let me be clear: We are not finished,” de la Fuente said. “We are pleased to be in the semifinals, but we want more. … We are capable of winning this game, and not just now, but I would have said this a few weeks ago as well.”
