Scaloni puts the team together for the final: he has tried two schemes and has a doubt about how to stop Mbappé

It will not show cards. Lionel Scaloni remains in the same position as before the semi-final with Croatia and facing the final of world This Sunday sows questions whose answers won’t be resolved until just before the game so as not to make things any easier France. In the penultimate round in Doha, the DT of Selection he tried a five-defendant scheme, but later included angel of mary and he also made a change in a key position: right-back, who will be the one who is expected to score kylian mbappe.

The World Cup is over. There is almost nothing left for it all to end. But the most important thing remains, knowing who will be the new champion. Argentina led by Lionel Messi He is looking for glory and his manager will have to define two central issues.

The first thing is the tactical design for use on the field at Lusail Stadium. In the hot afternoon of this Friday (the coolness that had lasted for a few days in Qatar seems to have passed), Scaloni started working with the following equipment: Emiliano Martinez; Nahuel Molina, Cristian Romero, Nicolás Otamendi, Lisandro Martínez, Marcos Acuña; Rodrigo De Paul, Enzo Fernandez, Alexis MacAllister; Messi and Julian Alvarez.

Namely compared to the 3-0 with Croatia Leandro Paredes and Nicolás Tagliafico will start. However, the last word has not been said and everything will have to be taken with a grain of salt. Is that with the execution of the training, the coach has changed.

As found out clarion, as a first measure has overturned the pattern. He put Di María in place of Licha Martínez to rearm the back four, early in the semi-final. But there was more. Because he also took Molina out for a while to see Gonzalo Montiel.

And this will be one of the unknowns: Who will Mbappé score? Molina is doing an excellent World Cup, with a goal inserted for the Netherlands after the impossible assist in the 10th minute, but his best version has been seen more as a winger in a 5-3-2 than as a winger in a 4- 4 -2 or 4-3-3. And Montiel has the positive antecedent of his great match at the Maracanà which canceled out a certain Neymar. It’s true that a long time has passed since then, but Scaloni could lean towards him to have more stability in the brand.

Everything is connected with everything. Because the names will go hand in hand with the tactical approach available. For example, while training with four downs, Scaloni made a third variant in which he proposed Fideo to leave and Paredes to enter. He thus formed the midfield that started against the Croatians, with the double five formed by Paredes and Enzo Fernández.
