Porro: No Favorites in France Clash

Spanish right-back Pedro Porro, a Nations League substitute a year ago, now faces France as a key player for Luis de la Fuente, dismissing any notion of favorites in the high-stakes semifinal.

Pedro Porro, 26, has transformed from a Nations League substitute to a regular starter for Spain, ready to face France in the semifinal. 'I'd say I arrive with more experience. A year ago I was also doing well, but playing fifty more games gives you a different kind of experience,' the international explained. tr-sport.click

The defender downplayed physical fatigue concerns despite Spain's greater travel distance and one less day of rest than France. 'I don't notice it much. We travel up and down and don't think about the kilometers. We've been able to recover and are fully focused on tomorrow's match,' Porro stated.
