Spain coach Luis de la Fuente has sent a clear warning message to Slovenia referee Slavko Vincic, who has been chosen by FIFA to officiate Sunday night’s 2026 World Cup final between Spain and Argentina, asking him not to tolerate any fouls that may deviate from the legal framework of the game.
The veteran Spanish coach’s comments came in an interview with Catalan newspaper Sport, where he was asked about allegations of violence against Argentina’s players while traveling at the tournament, similar to what Spain faced in their final group game against Uruguay.
De la Fuente said firmly. “A lot can be said about refereeing, but the main thing is that the referee should not be soft at all and not allow the legal limits set by the laws of the game to be exceeded.”
“I have complete blind faith in the referees and their integrity, but at the same time I also have blind faith in our deep understanding of the rules of the game and how we planned this crucial match. the form”.
De la Fuente went on to explain his philosophy on the game. “We are completely committed to our tactical ideas and principles of the game, and we generally do not like to get into provocations or side conflicts that could distract us from our main focus.”
“I don’t want to say with my words that the Argentine national team will intentionally provoke us or deviate from our essence. They will certainly play beautiful and organized football, but the most important thing for us is that we focus only on ourselves and try to impose our own style and football identity on the game, because if we move away from our basic ideas, we will suffer from our basic ideas. the price.”
