"Football is played with the feet, not with the language" - Zaragoza hits out at Tuchel

Bryan Zaragoza sealed the Nations League match against Switzerland with his first goal as an international with a stoppage-time penalty, and he admitted that he was looking forward to taking the pitch and being decisive in another Spanish victory.

"I never lack the desire to represent my country," he said. "I was on the bench, I wanted to give my all on the pitch and I showed it. My game is based on dribbling and every time I have the ball I try to do it. Taking the penalty was a gesture of personality," he said.

Zaragoza highlighted the level of the Spanish players so that numerous absences of key players in coach Luis de la Fuente's eleven do not affect the team. "One player goes out and another comes in and the national team is still at the same level. We have very good players in a great generation as we are showing," he said.

A journalist from ‘Bild’, a German newspaper, spoke to him about his time at Bayern Munich with Thomas Tuchel in which he was unable to shine. And some of the German coach's words, which were very well known at the time: ‘He lacks the language. It's difficult for him to speak English and German, which is basic. We brought the transfer forward to save time. It was already clear to me that it was a big step for him and we can see that now. There is quality, but we noticed that the integration is not complete because of the language’.

The Bayern Munich winger hit out at the German coach: "Football is played with your feet, not with the language. That's all I have to say".
