Scaloni Admits Spain Has Him Worried Ahead of World Cup Final
Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni says Spain’s threat keeps him on edge as he prepares to defend his World Cup title. He praised their technical quality, possession-based play and defensive discipline. “If they leave the hotel, I’m already concerned,” he said at a fan event in New York. Scaloni will face his former UEFA Pro licence instructor, Luis de la Fuente, when Argentina meets Spain in the final. Despite their personal history, he insists the match will be purely about winning football’s biggest prize. He hailed captain Lionel Messi as “pure history” at 39 and urged fans to savour the superstar’s possible last World Cup moments. Scaloni also dismissed any advantage from Argentina’s previous final experience, insisting Spain’s run in European finals makes them equally formidable.
