Argentina Coach Luis de la Fuente Defends Team's Physical Playstyle. In a heated exchange during a press conference, Luis de la Fuente was asked to address allegations that his team's playing style has been overly physical, bordering on dirty. De la Fuente, who has been at the helm of the Argentine national team since 2022, remained steadfast in his defense, refusing to bite at the suggestion. As Argentina prepares to face off against their next opponent, the controversy surrounding their physical play has sparked debate among fans, coaches, and pundits alike.
Luis de la Fuente had no interest in taking the bait when asked Friday about Argentina’s physical — maybe even dirty, suggested the questioner — play.
