Delafuente: If La Liga overseas matches are in line with the interests of football, they must be supported. Yamal s three views are very positive

August 26th Spanish coach De La Fuente was interviewed a few days ago and talked about his views on the possible overseas matches of La Liga.

La Liga hopes to move Villarreal to Miami to be held, which continues to arouse different opinions from all walks of life in the football world, with both support and opposition. The latest statement is Spanish coach De La Fuente.

de La Fuente said: "It seems very incredible at the moment, but football is always evolving, and we have to accept it."

There have been many precedents in recent years, such as the Spanish Super Cup that has been held in Saudi Arabia for several consecutive seasons. De La Fuente said: "This kind of decision needs to be reached through consensus, which is incredible now, but football is evolving, look at the Spanish Super Cup held in Saudi Arabia. As long as the decision is made jointly by the players of the football body for the benefit of the sport, we should accept it."

La Liga plans to have the 17th round of Villarreal against Barcelona be held in Miami on December 20, and the proposal has been approved by the Spanish Football Association.

The Spanish Football Association announced in August: "At the meeting on August 11, 2025, the Council of the Spanish Football Association was informed of the application of Villarreal and Barcelona to arrange the 17th round of the League One to the United States."

The Spanish Football Association was responsible for submitting the application to UEFA, and FIFA finally approved the historic La Liga first overseas hosting plan, and Miami Hard Rock Stadium was elected as the venue.

A few days ago, the Spanish Football Players Association, together with the captains of all La Liga teams, jointly opposed the possibility of moving the league outside Spain. The AFE requires that any change in the structure of the event must involve players in decision-making.

In an interview, Delafuent also talked about the national team's number one star and Barcelona young player Yamal: "He is a model of football players' values. He is very dedicated, a genius, generous and selfless, and an excellent teammate."

"Sometimes people value the flashy side of football...such as whether they were photographed with a relationship or a luxury car... In fact, he has never done anything criticized."
