  "account": "Spain's coach, Luis de la Fuente, has expressed his belief that his team will continue to improve, despite their impressive unbeaten run of 39 games. De la Fuente made this statement following Spain's 3-2 victory over England at Wembley, coming from behind to secure the win.\n\nEngland had taken an early lead, thanks to goals from Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane. However, Spain's Mikel Oyarzabal equalized, mirroring his performance from the Euro 2024 final. Oyarzabal then scored the decisive goal, solidifying Spain's position as world champions for the second time.\n\nDe la Fuente praised his players for their constant drive to improve, highlighting the team's remarkable achievements. The statistics, he said, speak for themselves, emphasizing the difficulty of what Spain has accomplished. He assured that the team will approach their upcoming match against Croatia with the mindset of a final match.\n\nYoung Spanish star Lamine Yamal, who scored the opening goal, may be returning to London next month, as he aims to win his first Ballon d'Or. De la Fuente commended the 19-year-old's exceptional performance, stating that the team is fortunate to have such a talented player on their roster.",
