Spain manager Luis de la Fuente has officially named his first squad since the team's recent tournament success. Speaking at a press conference at Las Rozas, de la Fuente shared an anecdote regarding the team's mindset immediately following their previous final. He recounted that a veteran player approached him just minutes after the trophy win to ask what remained for the team to achieve, to which de la Fuente responded by pointing toward the upcoming fixture against England.

The manager emphasized that despite their recent accomplishments, the team remains focused on the immediate future rather than resting on past results. The upcoming match against England, scheduled for September 26 at Wembley Stadium, serves as the primary objective for the squad. De la Fuente’s comments suggest a desire to maintain the team's competitive momentum, framing the England game as the next necessary challenge in their ongoing development. While the manager did not disclose the identity of the player who questioned him, he used the interaction to illustrate the 'insatiable' nature of his current roster. The squad selection marks the beginning of a new cycle for the Spanish national team as they look to build upon their recent form in international competition.
