Pedri, the midfielder for Spain, stated that the national team's locker room is filled with leadership personalities and that the strong bonds between players will be the team's greatest asset in the European Football Championship this month. The promising group of talented young players in Spain's lineup has benefited from a long period of work with coach Luis de la Fuente, who managed the youth teams of the national team from 2013 to 2022 before starting his journey with the senior team.
Pedri, a Barcelona player, told reporters: "I believe that the family spirit is our greatest asset in the team both on and off the field." He added, "The whole team is full of leadership personalities. There are many players who have leadership traits and help us a lot, but I think the big difference with other teams is the absence of a single leader."
Spain, a three-time champion, will begin its Euro 2024 journey on June 15 against Croatia and will also face the defending champions Italy and Albania in Group B. Pedri remarked, "It is important to start our campaign strongly. Many teams have won major titles despite losing their first match." He continued, "There is no need to worry about that match. We will go to win and will do our utmost." He concluded, "We are really looking forward to it. We have a young and promising team, and we can't wait."
