Scaloni He pointed out that “The time (3:30 pm local time/5:30 pm Argentina time) is the same for both teams, I say this for the comfort of the footballer and the spectacle. It is uncomfortable, I am not saying that one or the other has an advantage. The time does not help the spectacle.”
The temperature forecast for Tuesday afternoon in the city of Barranquilla is from 33 degrees and a humidity of 77%.
“The context of the match will be normal, everyone wants their team to win on the field.“, added the DT about the duel that will be played in the Metropolitan Stadium.
The “Albiceleste” comes from beating 3-0 Chili and will arrive at the party as the leader of the route towards the next World with 18 points, five ahead of Colombiawhich occupies third place and tied 1-1 in Lime with Peru last Friday.
Scaloni He spoke about the risk of dead ball, considered one of the strong points of Colombiaand warned that “We are not going to change our way of defending because of that. It is a weapon that they have and we have to be careful.”
At the last press conference before traveling to Colombia, Scaloni He considered that it is likely that he will make changes, since Nicolas Gonzalez and Alexis MacAllister ended the meeting last Thursday with physical discomfort, and assessed that “We can make some changes, but we don’t know how many, there’s still one day left.”
Scaloni, concerned about Messi’s lack of rhythm
For this meeting, Argentina will not have the star Lionel Messiinjured since the final of the America’s Cup that the “Albiceleste” won precisely against Colombiaand the DT highlighted that “We will wait for Leo to start playing. In two weeks we will have to give the list for the following matches and then we will see if he is fit.”
“It’s difficult for a team not to depend on Messi. The good thing is that this team has a game plan beyond the players, who can vary, but they all play the same. It’s obvious that when Leo isn’t there, we do the same thing, but without that final touch that he has. But everyone knows what they have to do.”analyzed the Argentine team’s driver.
