In the final round of the European World Cup qualifiers held early this morning, Spain drew 2-2 at home with Türkiye to qualify for next year's World Cup. Spanish player Olmo was interviewed after the game.

Olmo first said: "We did not celebrate as enthusiastically as in the last game, and it has a bit of a bittersweet feeling. We hope to win and keep 0 goals conceded, but we still successfully qualified for the World Cup."

Olmo opened the game in the first After scoring an early goal in 4 minutes, he continued: "Both sides had chances. We could have scored more goals in the first half and the same in the second half. We need to pay attention to the set-piece defense because we conceded a goal because of it. Although we did not win, we feel confident about qualifying for the World Cup." "

The field conditions in this game were not good, but Olmo believed: "This is not an excuse. The two teams faced the same conditions. I think the field conditions hardly affected any action in the game, so this cannot be used as an excuse."

In the end, Olmo said: "We are looking forward to the World Cup very much and hope it will come as soon as possible. But first there are the European and American Cup games, and then we still have a lot of time to prepare and ensure that we are 100% ready for the next events. This is very important."
