Lionel Scaloni’s surprising response
The world champion strategist is very cautious when talking about his rivals and when asked about the possible removal of Ricardo Gareca from the list of the two leaders of La Roja, he simply could not believe it.
“Aren’t Medel and Vidal coming?” was the first thing Scaloni said when asked by the press, without giving credit.
Then, he added that “well, let’s wait better, I’m not going to talk about it. Don’t make me say things that aren’t true and I’ll be stuck.”
