"The coach decides the starting eleven," said Ramos. "It is difficult for them because they are young and have experience. It has been a very worthy match. We have kept a clean sheet. Little by little a solid national team will be made."

On Barcelona teen Fati, Ramos declared: "Congratulations to him because he is a young player with desire. It is a joy to have these profile of players.

"Any player who comes young to play for their clubs has to assume his role, which is not that of a simple kid."
