  "account": "Spain's coach, Luis de la Fuente, has praised his team's relentless pursuit of improvement following an impressive 39-game unbeaten streak. Despite ending their perfect run with a 3-2 victory over England at Wembley, de la Fuente remains confident in his players' ability to continue their high level of performance. After England made a strong start in their Nations League match, Spain responded with Alex Baena's equalizer and Mikel Oyarzabal's winning goal, mirroring his prior performance in the Euro 2024 final. De la Fuente commended the team's constant desire to get better, noting the remarkable achievements of this generation of footballers. He also highlighted the exceptional performance of 19-year-old Lamine Yamal, who has aspirations of winning the Ballon d'Or. De la Fuente believes that the players are well-prepared for their next match against Croatia, treating it as their final game.",
