Scaloni: the “team always stands up” to the changes that are coming against Peru :: Olé

Lionel Scaloni spoke at a press conference after the National Team’s victory against Chile, with which they qualified for the quarterfinals. Here, the best phrases.

Match analysis: “The truth is that the game was not easy and it was won at the least expected moment, because the game was going away, but the team always continued to believe, continued to attack despite the fact that in the last 10 or 12 they began to stretch a little. More than that, I think the victory is deserved because Argentina made all the money. But well, they have been a very tough opponent. Ricardo is doing a great job and what we always say, in the end there is no easy game.”

How is Messi: “With Leo, I didn’t talk. Now after the game I didn’t talk. He ended up playing, you already saw that he did the 50-meter race with Ángel and Lautaro.

If you liked this match more than the debut: “They are different, but what must be rescued is that the team always shows its face in some way. Today I think that we did the things we proposed, we did them well. Enzo’s between the lines, the attack with Nico González on the left. Well, I think that went well and I think we played a good game. I wouldn’t know if it was better or worse than the other, but in the end this shows the difficulty of this Copa América. So we are satisfied because now we will be able to enjoy a few days. and above all make the kids play who I think also deserve it.”

Rotation against Peru?: “Well, the next game I think it’s fair that the guys who haven’t played these two games play. Because I also need to see them and they deserve it. And as for the other question, I think the team always has that attitude when the game gets rough, I think they don’t give up and play the game they have to play. We have that guaranteed, although I am the one who thinks that if the game gets ugly the first thing we have to try is to keep playing, try to keep playing. play our football and well, if it gets difficult later, well, we have to continue.”

Was the match what you imagined?: “The game was more or less like we imagined. There are some nuances, but we did know that Isla’s side attacks a lot and also suffers a lot. It’s normal, I would say, because he’s a full-back who attacks a lot and creates a lot of difficulties for you. And we created a lot of play there and managed to contain him until Nico González was on the pitch. And then the last two or three plays when he wasn’t there, well, he made things difficult for us until we settled down again. And I saw Chile doing well. I can’t rate the previous coaches either, but it seems to me that Ricardo transmits a calmness that these players need.”

Will Carboni and Garnacho play against Peru?: “It’s possible, but we’ll see, because we have more than 10 players on the bench, so I have to do the math. I haven’t yet looked at how to make the team, but the logical thing would be for them to have some minutes, because they are guys who are contributing a lot and they are behaving very well and they are watching their teammates compete and that is good.”
