The coach of the National Team indicated that Otamendi could be a substitute but did not confirm the starting eleven. In addition, he said that the end of Uruguay-Colombia was “sad.”
The coach of the Argentine national team, Lionel Scalonihas not yet confirmed the team that will face tomorrow Colombia in the final of the America Cup but he assured that the entry of Nicolás Otamendi is a possibility to stop the rival’s aerial game and did not guarantee the presence of Ángel Di María, who will play the last match in the national team.
“Today we will have our last training session and we will see. The team that we believe can help us win will play. It is an option to repeat the same team from the semi-final, but Otamendi’s entry is a real possibility.”analyzed the world champion coach.
In this regard, he said that “we are preparing ourselves in the best way possible, knowing how difficult the match against Colombia will be, but with the hope of being able to play our game. After that, football has many surprises, but we will try to play our game and not let them hurt us.”
Tomorrow will be Di María’s last match with the Argentine national team. Although everything indicates that “Fideo” will be a starter, Scaloni did not confirm anything. “The team is ahead. Against Ecuador it could have been his last match and we felt he shouldn’t play”he analyzed.
On the other hand, he said this “totally agree” with the explosive statements of Marcelo Bielsa with Conmebol, the organization of the Copa América and the playing fields: “We ask the players to be an example, but when this happens no one would act differently, they would act like those boys, and I hope it doesn’t happen again, that the fans of Argentina and Colombia have a party, I wish it with all my heart. My family and the families of all the players will be there.”
“The final should be a party and it would be a joy if it ended well. The images (in the semi-final) were very sad and anyone in that situation would have acted in that way.
