Lopetegui Warns Argentina About Spain’s Press Resistance

Former Spain coach Julen Lopetegui says Argentina face a difficult tactical problem when they attempt to press Spain in Sunday’s World Cup final. Spain’s collective positioning, individual skill and calm buildup from goalkeeper and defence allow them to escape pressure and create attacking space, he explained. Spain held France without a shot on target until after the 80th minute in their 2-0 semifinal victory, underlining the challenge facing Argentina.
