Fabián Ruiz: ‘It’s not important who plays, it’s important that we support each other’

Spain midfielder Fabián Ruiz has highlighted the importance of team spirit and support as the team prepares for their Round of 32 match against Austria.

"It’s not important who plays, it’s important that we support each other," Ruiz said. "It has been hard to get my pace and rhythm back but I am 100% now."

Coach Luis de la Fuente made several changes in the second half of their last match to strengthen the team's presence in midfield and add attacking threat, which Ruiz believes had a positive impact.
