Lionel Scaloni and the technical staff of the argentine national team In the last few hours they received the prizes corresponding to obtaining the Qatar World Cup 2022while the coach awaits a meeting with the captain, Lionel Messiwhich will be arriving in the country next Sunday to spend in rosary beads parties.
In that meeting Scaloni will speak for the first time with Messi “long and hard” about his reaffirmed statements regarding what his immediate (or immediate) future will be in the national team.
The technician I bid questioned its continuity for 2024 in the bowels of Maracana stadium after taking away his “lifelong” undefeated record at home in Qualifiers to the Brazilians, and ratified it 16 days later in the draw for the United States Copa America 2024.
On both occasions Scaloni spoke of his need “think the future”to the point that he did not even confirm that he will be present in this next America Cup which will begin on June 20 of next year.
“I hope Argentina can win it again”he said in a totally impersonal way Scaloni on the stage of the draw of the America Cupwhile carrying the trophy in his hands.
The reasons that lead Scaloni to think about whether or not to continue in the national team
Shortly before he had met for a quarter of an hour with the president of AFA, Claudio Tapia. Scaloni what with Wall this “all good”and that they had a relationship “almost friends”trying to rule out that his “need to think” was linked to differences with the Afista owner.
However, Wall obviously knows the things that bother him Scaloni and for these hours the AFA She began to quicken her pace to please him with the next commitment, which is the FIFA date March, when two friendlies will be played Scaloni He intends for them to be in Europe and against important rivals, something that today is quite far from being realized.
For economic reasons, the alternatives that had emerged were those of Chinaagainst smaller rivals from the East, or failing that USA against teams from the region. Scaloni He doesn’t want anything to do with any of those options.
The thing is that in addition to these two games in March, at the beginning of June, before the start of the America Cupthere will be another FIFA date to play two new friendlies prior to the start of the competition, in which the Argentine coach also intends to face opponents who are “on par with world champions.”
That is why the meeting with Messi It will also be important to analyze that immediate future. About, Say Maria will play his last tournament in the America Cup and the captain’s case is a mystery.
Another important topic for Scaloni is the reality of a spare part that will inexorably need the National selection. Something that was confirmed in these last two games of Qualifiersnot only because of the defeat against Uruguaybut also for the irregular task recorded before a dismembered Brazil.
This process is very difficult for the coach to face without appearing “ungrateful” to the players who led him to glory.
