Argentinian national team coach Jorge Sampaoli expected a completely different style of play from the Spaniards. However, the coach's expectations were shattered - they lost 1:6 in a friendly match, repeating the team's worst record. "We must take responsibility for such a result and prevent it from happening again in the World Cup. The Spaniards broke us, so we need to improve our game. I will carefully analyze the match and address the issue of emotions. We didn't expect such strength from our opponents," Sampaoli said after the match. "At the start of the second half, the Spaniards immediately started to attack us and scored quick goals, which determined the result. We will have to make decisions regarding the final composition of the national team for this meeting and not play in the world championships," he added.
