The head coach of the Spanish U-21 team said: "watching Uzbekistan play, we were sure that the team is very strong..."

Spanish youth team head coach Santi Denia and player Alejandro Francés attended a press conference ahead of the match against Uzbekistan.

Santi Denia:

- First of all, I want to thank you for the offer! I think this debate will be full of tense struggles. Congratulations to your head coach Timur Kapadze with a great participation in the Asian Games.

Watching Uzbekistan play, we were convinced that the team is very strong. A difficult test awaits us.

This will be a very important game for us before the match against Kazakhstan. Therefore, this controversy was organized.
