"Some Argentine players come close to being violent"

The World Cup final between Spain and Argentina was the focus of Roberto Gómez's remarks on La Tribu on Radio MARCA. The journalist expressed his complete confidence in Luis de la Fuente's national team, although he warned of the difficulties involved in facing the reigning world champions. "I am convinced that Spain is going to win the World Cup, but it is going to cost us a great deal", he said.

The journalist was very forceful in defining Lionel Scaloni's team. "It's the worst opponent we could have been given," he stated, while describing the albiceleste as a team of "streetwise" footballers and asserting that "it's a match of men against boys." Later he insisted: "Argentina is the most dirty-playing national team in the history of world football. There are footballers who verge on violence and it is a violent team".

That said, Gómez also praised the historic talent of Argentine football. He recalled that "it has had the best players in history", citing Di Stéfano, Maradona and Messi, and described Scaloni as "one hell of a national team coach".

'Despite his warnings about Argentina, Roberto Gómez did not hide his optimism about Spain. "The best team in the World Cup is Spain, the one playing the best," he stated during his intervention, convinced that Luis de la Fuente's team is arriving at the best moment of the tournament.'

He also dedicated abundant praise to the coach from La Rioja. "The World Cup coach is Luis de la Fuente," he repeated as many as three times, defending the work done by the Spanish manager and assuring that he feels "tremendously proud" of him.
