According to Marca, Spanish goalkeeper Unai Simón analyzed Argentina's playing style before the final, believing that their opponents' style might be similar to Uruguay's.
The goalkeeper reviewed the previous match against Uruguay, believing it was the most difficult game they had faced when trying to play their own style of football. Unai Simón stated, "We've always tried to maintain a consistent mindset and tactical approach. In that respect, the match against Uruguay was probably the most challenging for us because it was a tough game with many fouls and frequent disruptions to the game's rhythm."
He anticipates a very similar scenario against Argentina and emphasizes that the team must be prepared to adapt to the game without abandoning its own style. "We believe the game against Argentina will be similar, and we must be prepared for that and continue to approach it with the same mindset."
The Spanish international also pointed out that mental fortitude is one of the key factors that can determine the outcome of a match in such high-intensity competition. Unai Simón believes that even when the game is in trouble, the Spanish team must have the ability to counter-attack. "If the game takes a turn for the worse at any point, and we fall behind, we must have the ability and confidence to come back and win."
He cited Argentina's resilience in this tournament as an example, but also made it clear that Spain needs to prove its desire to win. "Argentina proved that during the World Cup, and if it's our turn, I think we have to show that we are a team eager to win."
