Scaloni tested the national team’s hats in a training session that did not have Messi but left good sensations

48 hours after the start of Qatar World Cupthe Argentina national team from Lionel Scaloni opened the doors of his training, with all eyes on the players who arrived “touched” at the debut on Tuesday 22nd, against Saudi Arabia.

The DT’s idea was to see how they were Marco Acuna, Christian Cuti Romero, Lautaro Martinez, Alejandro Papu Gomez and the rest of the footballers who have quoted each other in the last few hours questioning their physical conditions. Is that the premise of the coaching staff of the Selection was always that they were all one hundred percent, hence the decision of the victims of Nico González and Joaquin CorreaThursday.

The practice had a large amount of media from around the world looking forward to the presence of Lionel Messi. A presence that in the end did not occur. The fact is that Scaloni has decided to bring on the field only a group of 14 players on the field, in which the captain of the Selection was not there.

Messi, Di María, Paredes, Otamendi, Lisandro Martínez, Foyth and De Paul stayed in the gym to do another exercise routine, all without physical complications as far as he could find out clarionpresent on site.

The magnifying glass of Scaloni and his team focused on the rest of the players, who moved, ran and did some football in a small space in the short time in which the press was able to witness the ‘work out. The first feeling is that they were all in top condition.

The four goalkeepers in the delegation, Emiliano Martínez, Franco Armani, Gerónimo Rulli (the three on the list) and Federico Gomes Gerth (the youth sparring partner), worked with their coaches, in another area.

The training started after 6pm in Doha (12pm in Buenos Aires), with a pleasant temperature of 28 degrees but after a day marked by strong winds and the presence of sand in the air. It is worth mentioning that Argentina’s first match at the World Cup will be at 13:00 in Qatar, the time when it is warmest, although they promise that it will not be a decisive factor during the competition, due to the acclimatization that will take place in all stages.
