Spain manager talks Lamine Yamal, Gavi ahead of 2026 FIFA World Cup – ‘He’s in a very good moment’

With the 2026 FIFA World Cup just over a month away, Spain coach Luis de la Fuente took time out to present his autobiography, Life is Trained Every Day, written alongside journalist Eduardo Verdu.

The book traces his journey from his playing days through to Spain’s Nations League triumph in 2023 and their European Championship victory in 2024.

Speaking at the presentation in Madrid, De la Fuente also addressed some of the most pressing questions surrounding his World Cup squad.

On Lamine Yamal

De la Fuente was full of admiration for Barcelona’s injured winger, as he talked about his dedication on the field.

“Apart from his great talent, he trains three hours a day, goes to the gym, visits his physio, his nutritionist and his psychologist, and gives himself to his invisible training, which is the most important thing.

“Invisible training is something that many people are unaware of. It’s about being 24 hours thinking about your work. Nobody gives Lamine anything,” he said (h/t SPORT).
