The coach of the Argentine National Team revealed which teams he usually follows, both in local football and in Europe.
The Argentine soccer teams that Scaloni highlighted
Lionel Scalonicoach of the Argentine National Teamgave an interview in AFA Study in the run-up to the duel with Venezuela in the Qualifiers as a visitor and, among several topics, he praised several Argentine soccer teams and highlighted “the philosophy” of three Europeans.
“There is no team in itself that I stop to watch. I like the philosophy of how they play Bayer Leverkusen, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain. “They are teams that you follow because, sometimes, you can do things with our players in the National Team.”he stated.
At the same time, he said that his coaching staff also continues to pay attention to Argentine soccer: “We see everything. We see River, Boca, Vélez who are doing very well, Atlético Tucumán de Sava who are doing a great job, Huracán… They are teams that are fighting. Vélez plays well. “He has been doing things very well, I think he is on the right track.”
“We look at it because we have to look at the local football players. “Sometimes, they are called up if we really believe they are worth it in positions that we need.”explained the technical director of the national team.
Scaloni’s memory of Scaloni about his historic fight with Beckham
Lionel Scaloni also recalled his fight (and reunion in Miami) with David Beckham, with whom he crossed paths in a duel between Deportivo La Coruña and Real Madrid in 2003. “We saw each other again. We greeted each other, we took a photo, very nice. That was all my fault”stated the DT.
The play that made Beckham and Scaloni almost go to hell
“That fight, if you can call it a fight, was typical of the fight that they had scored a goal against us with a minute and a half left at the Bernabéu, in a very important match. We were fighting for the first places in the League. From anger, you look where there is none. It didn’t come to the story. He was marked by what he generated as a player. 20 years later, you realize that I was the wrong one.”he acknowledged.
