La Roja booked place at Euros with victory in Norway‘We have a team for the future,’ declares De la Fuente
The Spain coach, Luis de la Fuente, has found a way to turn his doubters into supporters.

Spain qualified for next year’s tournament in Germany on Sunday with a 1-0 win in Norway – the team’s sixth straight triumph since a loss at Scotland in March had left De la Fuente under pressure just two games into his stint.
