Spain\u2019s head coach, Luis de la Fuente, has hit out at the \u201cintolerable, unacceptable\u201d behaviour of Argentina players in the immediate aftermath of Sunday\u2019s World Cup<\/a> final.<\/p>\n

At the forefront were Nahuel Molina and Leandro Paredes, who attacked Rodri and Eric Garc\u00eda respectively<\/a> at New York New Jersey Stadium as Spain\u2019s players celebrated winning the World Cup<\/a> for a second time in the country\u2019s history. Paredes also confronted Spain\u2019s Gavi.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the time, I didn\u2019t realise it. I was celebrating, hugging teammates,\u201d De La Fuente told Spanish television. \u201cBut in any case, it is intolerable, unacceptable, it cannot be allowed. Players of that stature, whom I praised in the days leading up to the match and continue to praise, who are great players with a tremendous coach, surely they must have felt just as bad as we did seeing those reactions.\u201d<\/p>\n

De la Fuente also praised the exemplary behaviour of his own players faced with these \u201cacts of aggression\u201d and \u201cprovocations\u201d which he believes could have escalated into more serious incidents.<\/p>\n

Although the scenes were filmed and widely shared on social media, they have not yet resulted in any sanctions against the Argentina<\/a> players. Fifa has opened an investigation into the incidents to determine whether there may have been violations of the world football governing body\u2019s disciplinary code.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Spain\u2019s head coach, Luis de la Fuente, has hit out at the \u201cintolerable, unacceptable\u201d behaviour of Argentina players…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":558064,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[85,46,105],"class_list":["post-558063","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558063","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=558063"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558063\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/558064"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=558063"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=558063"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=558063"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
