On rotation and players who do not have many minutes, the DT commented: “It happens in the big teams. In football the injustice of those who deserve more minutes will continue to be. Everyone wants to play, but in the end what the team needs is balance. You cannot content everyone. They understand it and well, with anger when they do not play, but with the respect that the partner is playing.”
On the other hand, Scaloni He was cautious about his future and did not give details beyond World Cup 2026: “With the president I have the best relationship. Informal talks is not bad.

Sense of belonging, play without obligation and respect for the partner and that they only know that they are soccer players. In that we consider ourselves. And it was fulfilled. Beyond winning. The rest already knows, I did not do it.”
About his relationship with the players, he said: “We are not talking about how they are going to play. We do it market, how they are with their clubs. We are closer and they feel comfortable and well with that. Braying and training is very important for us. They know that the doors to talk are open. Whatever they are. They feel comfortable, but send the court, and that makes everything easier.”
