"The treatment we have received from him (the president of the RFEF, Ángel Villar) has been exquisite, both the players and the coaching staff and me and therefore we are immensely grateful to him in the sports aspect," said Julen Lopetegui after attending the draw for the league schedule at the Las Rozas Soccer City.
Julen Lopetegui expressed himself like this hours after the imprisonment of the president of the RFEF, Ángel María Villar, his son Gorka and the first vice president of the organization, Juan Padrón, by decision of the judge of the National Court, Santiago Pedraz.

"In other matters, I have two wishes," explained the selector, "that everything ends well, that everything is clarified as soon as possible and that, as soon as possible, we start talking about football because on the 2nd (of September) we have a too important match to think about other things."
"And on our part, which is what we have to manage, try to only talk about a match in which we play nothing more and nothing less than a World Cup," said the coach referring to the match against Italy at the Santiago Bernabeu.
