MADRID, 11 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Spanish international Fabián Ruiz has expressed himself “very happy” to have been able to return to the national team, where he feels “the confidence” of Luis de la Fuente, something that makes him “calmer on the field”, and he hopes to be able to add another victory this Tuesday against Cyprus because “not being in that Euro Cup doesn’t come into my head.”
“Both the trust and the system. It gives me freedom both in attack and defense and I feel very good. Having the coach’s trust from the youth categories and now in the senior ranks makes me calmer on the field. I try to show him that trust on the field of play,” he declared at a press conference.
In this sense, the Paris Saint-Germain footballer was “very happy and very happy to be back” in ‘la Roja’. “I have to be grateful to the coach for the confidence he is giving me, I have to transmit it on the field to be able to continue having opportunities, to continue coming to the national team, because for me it is a pride to be able to represent my country. It is a pleasure to continue coming “he indicated.
The one from Los Palacios was the only player not called up by Luis Enrique after the Euro Cup. “I don’t know (why he didn’t call him again). These are decisions that the coaches make. We are in a country that has very good footballers and twenty-somethings can come. I kept working to be able to come. Now, with the coach’s call, I am very happy to be back,” he said.
“The coaches make their decisions; he made the decision not to call me and I respected it. I don’t think much about what happens, I try to look at the positive side of things and I try to work to keep coming back, which is a source of pride. I didn’t have that opportunity and now I am having it with Luis. I am very happy and very grateful,” he continued.
Furthermore, the Sevillian midfielder explained that he works “day by day” at his club to be able to return to the national team. “I have the support of the coach both in the national team and with Paris. It is true that right now I am not having all the minutes I want, but I am working for it. We are very happy with the arrival of the coach, the team has changed, we are demonstrating the football that Luis Enrique transmits, which is having the ball. We are building the team and we hope that this will be a great season both with the club and the national team,” he explained.
“Each coach has his philosophy and his way of seeing the game and gives you different things. The coach shows me confidence with minutes and I try to return it to him on the field of play, which is where it counts. In the other game I was very comfortable and let’s hope that another round game comes out on Tuesday,” he said.
Regarding the role that De la Fuente reserves for him, he confessed that against Georgia he felt “comfortable both with the ball and reaching the area.” “One of the clear ideas that the coach has is to reach the opposite field and finish the play, but he also likes to have the ball. The other day we reached the opposite area a lot, we train him every day and that is why it is reflected on the field “, he noted, before talking about the possibility of shooting from afar. “When a team locks itself in, it is an alternative to have players who hit well from outside the area. If I play and have the opportunity to shoot, I will. It is not always possible, but I try to make the right decision,” he said.
However, he does not know if the decision to sign for PSG could have harmed him with ‘La Roja’. “When we make decisions we always try to make them for our benefit, not thinking about what is going to happen. At first, when you change country and team it is difficult to adapt. I always try to improve to do better and better and be able to come to the national team. I am working for it and I am happy with the decisions I have made,” he stated.
In another vein, he refused to talk about the resignation of Luis Rubiales. “We are focused on the City of Football and we are not aware of what is happening outside, but it is true that we found out. We respect the decision. In Monday’s statement we said everything we thought. We are thinking more about the match against Cyprus, which For us it is very important, because for us it does not enter into our minds not to be in that Euro Cup,” he expressed.
Finally, Fabián Ruiz did not want to assess a possible return of Sergio Ramos to the national team. “I wish him all the best, because apart from being a teammate he is a friend; I have a lot of love for him for everything he has given me. I wish him all the best in this new stage at Sevilla, which is very important for him. To everyone When he comes, we welcome him with open arms, we show him affection, but that decision is made by the coach,” he concluded.
