Spanish coach Luis de la Fuente, coach of his country's senior football team, praised his players after winning the World Cup on Sunday in New York City, USA. 'La Roja' defeated the defending champion Argentina 1-0 in the final at MetLife Stadium in front of more than 80,000 spectators. Referring to his players, De la Fuente said: 'These players possess exceptional potential and talent; it is an honor to accompany them on this journey. I am deeply moved; they have won everything and are a role model for the country and for young people.' The coach expressed great pride, and said that this generation of players grew up with the idea of being the best and giving their all. He explained that he knew his team 'would have to suffer' in order to beat Argentina, who are skilled at defensive organization. He added: 'We should have scored earlier, but the goalkeeper saved several balls. We needed to be better at finishing attacks, but it is a World Cup final, and we knew we would have to suffer.' Thanks to a goal from substitute striker Ferran Torres in the 106th minute, Spain won its second world title, after 2010 in South Africa.
