According to Sport, Spain's head coach Luis de la Fuente has discussed the confrontations following the World Cup final, stating that such conduct is unacceptable.

During an appearance on the "Master of Ceremonies" program, de la Fuente recounted details of what transpired during the World Cup final against Argentina. The match was intensely competitive, marked by frequent fouls and numerous near-fouls throughout the match.

De la Fuente stated that despite the match's intensity, Spain's team felt surprisingly composed on the pitch. "We controlled the entire match. We never felt pressured," he said. He also noted that had Spain converted their chances, they could have led "2-0 or 3-0," but in such tight contests, "anything can happen, especially against a team like Argentina."

De la Fuente confirmed that his coaching staff had anticipated Argentina's aggressive approach. Their previous match against Uruguay, which was also intense, provided valuable experience in dealing with Argentina's style. A key principle for Spain's team was not to be drawn into their opponent's rhythm, as doing so would cause them to abandon their own strengths.

"If we matched their intensity, we would lose our identity," de la Fuente explained. "It's not that we didn't want to compete physically, but we wanted to prove we stayed true to our style."

De la Fuente also emphasized that football is a game of "give and take," where each team uses its own methods. "Everything that happens on the pitch is normal. I played in the 1980s, and that physical style was standard," he said.

Regarding the post-match incidents, de la Fuente was unequivocal. "What happened after the match was unacceptable. There's no excuse for it," he stated.

De la Fuente recalled that while this final was the most-watched World Cup final in history, the lasting images were of chaos after the final whistle, including confrontations, scuffles, and other misconduct. He believes such behavior should not occur again on such an important stage.

De la Fuente concluded by noting that Spain successfully maintained their tactical approach, withstood their opponent's forceful attacks, and controlled a match that could have ended differently. However, his strongest message remains directed at the post-match chaos: "Image matters greatly, and what happened after the final cannot be repeated."
