Scaloni emphasized the climatic factor of Guayaquil: “You practically couldn’t play football because of the heat. They didn’t have scoring chances until the last minute; the conditions didn’t give much.”
“In the first half we played a good game. In the second, they pushed more, but without chances until the last play”he pointed Scaloni on the agonizing tie of Ecuador that stretched to 31 the games without defeats of his team to reach the record of the national team of Alfio Basile between 1991 and 1993.
“It was a very difficult date, due to injuries and sanctions. We arrived with some fair players. Today (Germán) Pezzella came off the bench because he had a fever, (Joaquín) Correa too and (Ángel) Di María was not fit. I appreciate the everyone’s effort and the team doesn’t suffer among those who enter”pointed Scaloni.
Scaloni criticized the referee’s performance
The coach criticized the performance of the Brazilian referee Raphael Claus by assuring that it “is very difficult to explain”, while remarking that it seemed to him “regrettable” that the judge “I didn’t go to see the play” in which he ended up hurt Alexis MacAllister.
“It is very difficult to explain the actions of the referee”began by saying the Argentine coach, after which he added: “I just saw Mac Allister’s play and I find it regrettable that he didn’t go see it at VAR, I can’t find an explanation for it. He has a scratch above the knee, it was too high.”
This way, Scaloni emphasized the play in which Mac Allister was injured and the request for the referee to consult with the VAR It was to see if it was expulsion for Allan Frank.
