According to AS, Argentina has adopted Spain's football association model, coaching structure, and playing style, leading to major success.

Argentina and Spain share remarkable similarities in their sports association models, football structures, and coaching hierarchies, including their national team coaches and playing philosophies. There is no doubt that the Argentine Football Association and the national team adopted the model that brought Spain tremendous success during the 2008-2012 cycle, and this has now yielded comparable achievements for Argentina.

It all started with Scaloni. The current Argentina coach was trained and developed within the Spanish Football Federation, with Luis de la Fuente serving as his tactical mentor, and he worked within Spain's coaching committee system. His appointment by the Argentine Football Association initially faced domestic criticism, as the public was reluctant to see a coach without extensive previous experience take charge of the national team.

Scaloni had previously led Argentina's U20 team to victory in the Torneo de la Alcudia. Following Argentina's series of final defeats, the Argentine Football Association hired him as interim coach. His strong results led to his permanent appointment. During his tenure, former players began appearing in various youth national teams, mirroring the Spanish Football Federation's approach, such as Mascherano, Placente, and Aimar. Scaloni also recruited other former players to his coaching staff, including Samuel and Ayala.

Argentina's playing style underwent a transformation. Argentina had rarely focused on positional play as much as they have under Scaloni. Long-standing issues that plagued Messi in the national team were suddenly resolved by this new coach, who brought in more technically gifted players, allowing Messi to better combine with his teammates. During the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, Enzo Fernández and Mac Allister exemplified how midfielders elevated the team's performance, similar to Spain's use of midfielders like Busquets, Iniesta, and Xavi. Spain has continued this tradition with Rodri, Pedri, Gavi, and Merino.

Spain showed the way, and Argentina replicated this model perfectly. The Spanish school has taken root in Argentina. The Spanish Football Federation provided the blueprint for the Argentine Football Association's plan, and both have been so successful that they now meet in the FIFA World Cup final. This is no small achievement.
