Luis de la Fuente once again spoke openly about his faith and explained that prayer is part of his daily life. Spain’s coach said that he prays every day, but not to ask for victories or sporting results, rather as a way to give thanks and remain steadfast.
The coach became emotional as he remembered his parents and his brother Óscar, who died 3 years ago. In that context, he explained that his relationship with God does not depend on being at a World Cup or seeking an advantage over an opponent. For him, prayer is about health, gratitude, and strength to keep fighting.
His testimony drew attention because it distances itself from sporting superstition. De la Fuente does not present faith as an amulet for winning matches, but as a personal pillar. Amid the pressure of football, his message focused on giving thanks every day.
