Santi Denia: 'The Difference Between Winning and Losing Is the Dressing Room'

Santi Denia is optimistic about Spain's 2026 World Cup squad, pointing out that the vast majority of the 26 players called up by De la Fuente came through his hands during his tenure with the national setup. The Albacete-born coach, who guided Spain to Olympic gold in Paris, notes that only Raya, Laporte, Borja Iglesias, and Victor Muñoz did not pass through his system.

Denia highlights the profile of the squad and singles out Eric García as one of the standout names on the list, a player he holds in particularly high regard. Drawing from his extensive experience with Spain's youth and Olympic teams, Denia believes the dressing room identity and cohesion will be Spain's greatest asset at the tournament.

He argues that the core of the squad carries the philosophy he instilled during his time in charge of the national setup.
