"The team had to work extremely hard against the top countries in Europe in order to reach the final and the satisfaction was that the boys gave everything that they had. Their attitude was fantastic and it was a great learning experience for all of us. It is a good period for Spanish football as a whole, though we must separate the successes of our clubs from what we do with the national teams. If the clubs believe in these players, they have shown that they are capable of achieving great things."
