"I don't trust Messi and the Argentinians one bit"

'The World Cup final is all set and, although David Sánchez still sees Spain as the favorite, on La Tribu he warned that Lionel Scaloni's national team arrives with enough arguments to force Luis de la Fuente's side to take extra precautions. For him, respect toward the reigning world champion is not only logical, but even necessary.'

"There is a certain fear noticeable in the pro-Spanish parish ahead of next Sunday's match. And I am one of those who thinks that it is even good to have a certain fear of this Argentine football team," David Sánchez said when analyzing the grand final.

Spain is a much better team than Argentina

'Despite that respect for the Albiceleste, David Sánchez remains fully confident in the Spanish national team. "I still think the same as I did before knowing the opponent in the final, that Spain is a much better team than Argentina, that Luis de la Fuente's national team plays much better than Leo Messi's national team", he said.'

That said, he recalled that the Argentine side has shown throughout the tournament that it knows how to compete in any setting. "Argentina knows how to play football and the other kind of football, the one Spain does not seem to be as expert at as the Albiceleste team", he explained.

Even so, the contributor believes that, if the match unfolds normally, Spain has a better chance of winning the title. "If everything goes as normal, the logical thing would be to imagine the national team's captains lifting the World Cup in New York", he said.

David Sánchez insisted that confidence should not be confused with relaxation. "And I still think it's good to have a certain fear of the reigning world champion", he said before explaining that, in his opinion, "France believed the praise too much throughout the whole tournament and came out a bit relaxed against Luis de la Fuente's side".
