An unpublished video of Lionel Scaloni revealed which team he was a fan of and dreamed of playing today as DT of the national team

Lionel Scaloni, is, to this day, probably one of the most in-demand people in the media when it comes to conducting interviews. No doubt the consecration of him as DT before the command of Argentina national team after winning Copa América, Finalissima and World Cup, it put him in that privileged situation.

In his time as a footballer he has given several notes, which have gone viral lately. Recently, a 2006 broadcast by American music channel MTV showing what his life was like in London (he was playing for West Ham at the time) went viral.

Now another incident after the victory of the Under 20 World Cup in Malaysia in 1997, and which captured everyone’s attention due to a confession made by the former defender of that unforgettable team of José Pekerman, has gone viral.

At the end of last year, when asked about it, he was a little more cautious, respecting his status as manager of the national team.

However, in the said interview he gave in 1997, not much was measured. Pujato’s admitted to being a fan of one of the country’s greats: “I am a Boca fan. I played for Newell’s and wasn’t a fan of Newell’s, but I sweated it out on the pitch.”

That wasn’t the only thing Lionel said he was even encouraged to go more when the reporter told him: “There is only one thing missing, to play in Boca”, to which the current manager replied: “Yes, Certain. This is my dream and then going to play in Europe, but I want to go to Boca. My grandfather died a long time ago and he followed me everywhere. He made me a Boca fan.”

It should be remembered that before the World Cup in Qatar 2022, in an interview with TyC Sports, he recognized his childhood idol: “Blas, for everything he conveyed, he ran. He was an icon. ” Yes, the biggest reference of him was Blas Giunta, symbol of Boca and one of the most loved midfielders in the club’s history.

With Boca without a coach and looking for a replacement for Hugo Ibarra, won’t Scaloni feel like fulfilling his old dream as a footballer, sitting on the bench at La Bombonera?
