Luis de la Fuente Praises 19-Year-Old Marc Bernal

Luis de la Fuente addressed the media on Wednesday before Spain's friendly against Iraq at Riazor. He said Marc Bernal could go far if he continues to work with the same sacrifice.

Marc Bernal is a 19-year-old midfielder for Barcelona. He has been one of the support players training with the 26 players named for the World Cup in recent days.

The current World Cup squad already includes Rodrigo Hernández and Martín Zubimendi. Marc Bernal has not yet secured a place in that list.

Analysts expect Bernal to feature in multiple World Cups over his career. He is projected to eventually assume the national team captaincy.

Luis de la Fuente emphasized Bernal's bright future during the press briefing.
