JAKARTA - The coach of the Spanish national team, Luis de la Fuente, started a war of nerves claiming that his team played better than England ahead of the European Cup or Euro 2024 final. This final match will take place at the Berlin Olympic Stadium on Monday 15 in the morning at 02.00 WIB.

"We've played better than them, but it has no influence in the final match," De La Fuente told Spanish media La1 on Saturday, July 13.

De La Fuente also promised that the final match would be exciting as England had quality players and had reached the final with a very good performance. "I'm happy to face such a challenging opponent with great players. I think that will make anyone believe the match will be a grand spectacle," said De La Fuente.

The final match between Spain vs England is predicted to be one of the most exciting matches in Euro history, with both teams having different strengths and weaknesses. Luis de la Fuente is wary of England's physical and speed-dependent style of play.

"We have different styles of play, but England have strong physical players who like to run into open spaces. We have to try our style, which is to control the ball more, although as I always say, we also have the option to play with counter-attacks," said De La Fuente.

However, De La Fuente also stressed that there are many other factors that affect victory in the final, such as not making too many mistakes. "Winning in the final is not only about tactics, but also about maintaining concentration and not making mistakes that can be fatal," he added.

Spain's journey to the final was impressive, with them managed to get rid of strong teams such as Georgia, Germany and France. Meanwhile, England advanced to the final after beating Slovakia, Switzerland and the Netherlands.

This final match will be the culmination of a competition full of drama and surprises, and both teams will try to give their best to win this prestigious trophy.
