At 0:00 am on August 6th, in the Olympic men’s football semi-final, Spain defeated Morocco 2-1 and advanced to the final. After the match, Spanish Olympic team coach De las Cuevas gave an interview.
De las Cuevas said, “We knew that Morocco is a very strong team. They scored four goals against the United States, they have excellent players who want to make an impact, and they fielded their strongest lineup in the game. However, our players performed at their best level and turned the game around. Morocco committed fully to the match, but I still want to congratulate them.”
“During halftime, I gave the players some advice, but it’s the players who implement it. We can’t protest the referee’s decisions. Our 22 players performed exceptionally well, just as we saw in the European Championship. Even though they now have to play every other day in 30-degree weather, they understand the importance of the matches, and they’ve done incredibly well.”
“After the final whistle, I felt extremely happy, all the doubts from the entire match vanished. At that moment, I released all my tension. I’m happy for the whole team. Indeed, we are a team that gets along well. I’m really happy for everyone. Going forward, we need to continue improving on the details to compete for the gold medal.”
