If we ignore the context, Luis de la Fuente‘s praise of Fabian Ruiz would come straight from a parallel world. While the Parisian midfielder has just scored a double against Switzerland (4-1), the Spanish coach declared on September 8: “For me, he is one of the best players in his position, if not the best. If he were Brazilian or Argentinian and his name wasn’t Ruiz, everyone would say he was one of the best players on the planet. » We take the words all the more seriously as the La Roja coach is not the man to indulge in long tirades.
It must be said that since his appointment in the wake of the 2022 World Cup, the former Neapolitan has taken on another dimension under the orders of a paternal coach, whom he already worked with at the Espoirs. Still undefeated with Spain (24 wins, 9 draws), the 28-year-old largely contributed to the success during the last Euro where his performances, each more excellent than the last, made the Parisian supporters jump and had to wondering what fly had bitten him to display such a radiant form.
