Spain’s national team coach, Luis de la Fuente, has identified the German player he would want to see in the Spanish squad if given the opportunity. Spain is currently recognized as a leading force in international football, having secured both European and world championship titles.

The Spanish team features a roster of top-tier players, including talents like Pau Cubarsí, Marc Cucurella, Rodri, Pedri, and Lamine Yamal. Despite this strong lineup, De la Fuente specifically mentioned Florian Wirtz as a player he admires.

When asked by German outlet BILD which player from the German team he would most like to have, Luis de la Fuente responded:

“Florian Wirtz! An incredible player. It’s unfortunate he doesn’t have a Spanish passport. I truly appreciate his playing style.”
