César Martín, former Real Oviedo player, recalled his experience in the Spanish national team in a recent interview. Martín, who played 13 games with the national team, spoke about his debut and his participation in the 2004 European Championship. "Defending the national team is the maximum for any footballer", said Martín. "I found out I was international for the first time through the teletext, and then the Deportivo delegate called me to confirm it". Martín also spoke about his best moment with Spain, which was in the 2004 European Championship. "Yes, although the result was disappointing because we fell in the first phase", said Martín. "Despite this, the experience was extraordinary. There was a lot of Spanish fans in the Algarve, the training sessions had a spectacular atmosphere and we shared unforgettable moments"
