The goalkeeper of the national team of Spain showed modesty after the final, giving all the chance to the phenomenal defense of his team, which allowed him to succeed in the tournament.

Having received the prestigious Golden Mitten award as the world championship's top goalkeeper, Spain national team goalkeeper Unai Simon did not attribute this success solely to power talents. Finally, their post-match comments became the true anthem of the ideal game of the Spanish defenders, who turned the tournament into the calmest stage of their career.

Assessing his contribution to the team's historic triumph (the first World Cup for Spain in 16 years), Simon was considered a major contributor. Having learned that the robot on the field was reduced to a minimum of partners.

“My hands really didn’t have the chance to work as important or as richly as other goalkeepers,” the Spaniard admitted.

He backed up his idea with a more colorful comment that perfectly illustrates the dominance of the Spanish team: “As if all the mittens I wore throughout this tournament could say, then, I guess, there’s a stink.”.

The main credit for achieving the individual trophy goes to Simon without giving to his team:.

“I think it’s entirely the merit of all my teammates that we were able to achieve everything and save our goal safely,” the goalkeeper said.

Simon’s words are not just empathy, but a statement of various statistical facts. To become the greatest goalkeeper on the planet, he managed to make more than 10 saves during the entire tournament. To equalize the final match, Argentina's Emiliano Martinez managed to score more goals in one week's time - finishing the game with a record 11 saves.

In the final match, Spain simply beat Argentina to the punch (20:2), and Lionel Messi's team didn't miss Simon's goal.. The phenomenal performance of Simon's partners allowed him to rewrite the history of world championships.

Spain conceded only one goal during the entire World Cup, beating Belgium in the quarterfinals (2:1).

They kept a clean sheet against the teams of France and Argentina, defeating the two highest scorers in the history of the tournament - Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi.

Now the Spaniards have surpassed the absolute record of their legendary team of 2010, when their team conceded two goals. It is symbolic that behind the incredible calm of Una Simon in the final from the stands at MetLife Stadium, the creators of the previous record were guarding: the current goalkeeper Iker Casillas together with Javi Hernandez, Andres.
