World Cup World Cup Bubista, the coach of Cape Verde, reacted to the debut of the Blue Sharks in the World Cup this Monday, which ended in a historic draw (0-0) against Spain. “I have to congratulate my players. We were organized throughout the game. We know the quality of Spain, but we showed what our country is. It is about overcoming difficulties with courage. Thus, we saw a team that showed courage and bravery throughout the match,” the coach began by saying at a press conference after the match. “Regardless of the result, my wish is for people to have fun. This is for the world, for us to gain experience as well. Obviously, we are there to fight for every Cape Verdean scattered around the world. We are all happy. We are happy to see our flag there, we are happy to sing our anthem on the biggest stage of world football. So, Cape Verdeans just have to have fun and be happy,” concluded the 56-year-old coach. Luis de la Fuente, on the other hand, lamented the lack of effectiveness from his players. “They are a very organized team; we saw that they set up a low block, making it very difficult to create spaces. Even so, we generated some opportunities; we just lacked a bit of circulation. When the ball doesn’t want to go in… it doesn’t want to go in. There were shots, chances, and a desire to resolve the game quickly. We know this is very difficult, and we know that it is extremely hard to win here,” emphasized the Spanish coach after the match.
