"Cubarsi has a good chance of playing in the Olympics"

Spain U21 coach Santi Denia said on Saturday in Granada that Barcelona defender Pau Cubarsi has "many options" to play in the next Olympic Games in Paris 2024.

"Of course Cubarsi has a lot of options. He is a player we like very much. It is a dream for any player to be in the Olympic Games," said Denia during his participation as a speaker on the second day of the 1st International Football and Law Congress, which closes on Saturday in Granada.

Denia acknowledged that in Spanish football "there is a lot of talent" because the facilities have also improved a lot. "The level of Spanish coaching is the best in the world in training. We are a reference all over the world," he added.

On his role as coach, he made it clear that "being a coach has nothing to do with being a national team coach". "I am privileged to be able to choose players. We don't have the same amount of time to prepare for matches," Denia concluded.
