“The team will be similar, we will see if we make a touch-up,” explained the coach of the Argentine National Team at a press conference. It would include some changes and a possible modification of the scheme.
The coach of the Argentine National Team, Lionel Scalonigave some indications of the team to face Chiliin New Jersey, for the second date of Group A of the America Cup. At a press conference with Nahuel Molinathe DT assured that he had the team to play against the team led by Ricardo Gareca.
“There are always differences in the rivals. Our team plays based on how we can hurt the rival. We are going to put the one that best adapts to Chile. They are two rivals that play quite differently and we have taken our precautions”. And I add: “The team is always there, it responds to the expectations of each game. Our formation will not change depending on how they play, we do our best and based on the game we adapt. I have the team, they still don’t know it. I will tell them today. The scheme will be similar to the other day, we will see if we make a touch-up”.
The Argentine National Team and a bitter memory
On the mere coincidence that the Argentine National Team and Chili face each other again in a America Cup at the MetLife stadium where the “Roja” defeated the “Albiceleste” and were champions in 2016, Lionel Scaloni he claimed: “Football continues, the ball does not stop. The stadium is the same, everything else is already history, there is little point in going back. It is a game that we have played a lot, I don’t think it is different from others. We play as we have to “The players know that there are limits that cannot be crossed, we have to be responsible for not leaving the team in numerical inferiority. Not having Gary Medel and Arturo Vidal against them can be a relief.”.
In addition, the national coach once again referred to the controversy over the states of the playing fields in the America Cup: “I haven’t seen him on the playing field yet, I already said what I had to say. Now we have to adapt to what there is. He doesn’t want to influence that aspect, it’s the same for everyone. Too much was said and nothing can be done now” .
Lionel Scaloni spoke about the captain’s birthday
Finally, the man from Santa Fe referred to the birthday of Lionel Messi in full competition: “We are celebrating, we are happy for Messi. I know how hard a birthday is outside your home. We try to make Leo comfortable, happy and happy. Luckily he has a group that makes him feel good. I am happy to have him and this tonight we will blow out the candle. We don’t think about a gift. There is always one from the AFA, we hope they made an effort. I don’t know what will happen at night.”.
Consequently, the possible team that Lionel Scaloni would put before Chilifor the second date of Group A of the America Cupit would be with Emiliano Martínez; Nahuel Molina, Cristian Romero, Lisandro Martínez (or Nicolás Otamendi), Nicolás Tagliafico; Rodrigo De Paul, Leandro Paredes, Alexis Mac Allister; Lionel Messi, Julián Álvarez (or Lautaro Martínez) and Nicolás González or Giovani Lo Celso.
