Scaloni explained the success of the Argentine team and spoke about the Qualifiers

The coach of the Argentine national team, lionel scaloni made a curious observation regarding the success that the national representative has today, when he pointed out that the secret was “In having opted for a biotype of player, the one who doesn’t burn the ball and knows that in games there are times when he is going to suffer.”

“Personally, I think that the great success was having opted for a player biotype that was generating something very good internally that was later transferred to the people, and that communion was essential for us to start doing well”Told him scaloni to AFA Studio.

“Because what I want is to have players who don’t burn the ball, who know that the rival is also playing and that at certain times of the games they are going to have to suffer. And when that happens, what remains is to dig in and continue, because the game continues”he pointed.

But he immediately made it clear that “Several players from the previous generation and some who are in the group today were about to go down in history before, because they played three finals in a row (one World Cup and two Copa América) and came very close.”

“That’s why I maintain that they also went down in history. Because things were done well previously and there were always good players in the national team, but you also need to have a share of luck along with a clear idea to reach the top.”highlighted the DT.

“And then there is the field work but also the mental one, because even if it is played over long periods of time, I am always thinking about the national team, when I am starting or riding a bicycle, different things come to mind. Thoughts about what needs to be improved or innovated. There is no coach who can totally isolate himself”assured scaloni.

And precisely on this point he referred to his collaborators, Walter Samuel, Roberto Ayala, Pablo Aimar and matias manathe four closest members of his coaching staff, and the physical trainer, Louis Martin.

“Here we are all calm. Perhaps the most anxious is Professor Martín, but all the others have a similar profile. And although in games everything is rougher, we always try to maintain balance, because that is what we must convey to the players. The most similar to me is Aimar, because we are the ones who sleep the least. We are close. The other day Samuel paid me a toll because he had no cash.”counted.

His obsession with the Argentine team

The coach of the Argentine national team, lionel scalonirevealed how he faces his work in charge of the “albiceleste” and how he prepares for the start of the South American Qualifiers heading to World Cup in Mexico, Canada and the United States 2026.

“Every day I think about the Argentine National Team. When you’re eating or riding your bike, things always come to mind. I haven’t heard many coaches say that they totally isolate themselves”Shooting scaloni in statements in AFA Estudio.

In addition, the DT native of bid explained how the change was scaloni as a player until he was in charge of the team: “As a player, I was very outgoing and I liked to make myself known within the group. I was always like that and I tried to never change that attitude. When I reached the end of my career, I started to think about everything and I adopted a more serious profile.”
