'Intense' Scotland have Spain on edge as boss Luis de la Fuente expects no Hampden walkover

Luis De la Fuente has warned his Spain to expect a wave of intensity at Hampden.

But the new La Roja national coach admits he’s ready to make quickfire changes to combat Steve Clarke’s fired-up charges and senses immediate improvement within his own new-look squad. De la Fuente and his unit were due to land in Glasgow on Sunday night ahead of Tuesday’s Euro 2024 showdown. The manager arrives in superb spirits after his first game at the helm ended in a 3-0 success over Norway in Malaga.

De la Fuente admits he felt like a “rookie” on night one, but his team delivered on the Costa Del Sol. However, the manager says he might switch it up to deal with the strengths of Scotland. De la Fuente explained: “The match against Scotland demands other things. They are very intense. If I have to make changes, we will. What there is is a fantastic team that offers many alternatives. In four days, I have seen things. They can give much more and we will continue to grow in all aspects.
