The last commitments before the debut in the World Cup are arriving with the Argentine national team, and as part of the friendlies against Honduras and Jamaica in Miami, Lionel Scaloni held a press conference in which questions about the World Cup were immediate.

Within the same question, the coach was asked about his squad and whether he and his team have collected Panini stickers. Staircases, finished: “My son, yes, he certainly collects them and he has to stay even without those figurines”.
Lionel Scaloni thus joins the figures of the Argentine national team who have already had some other approach to the Panini collection. From the hand of Mateo, to the madness for the stickers was also joined by Leo Messi. Days ago, Antonela Roccuzzo recorded the second of her children holding a card from her father. The photo was replicated a few minutes later by the Argentine captain.
There are several players of the Argentine national team who are part of the rage for the cards, and some also I’m on course to complete the album. The truth is that in Argentina getting statuettes is not an easy task, so much so that in the last few hours there has even been a meeting between newsstands, Panini representatives and heads of the Ministry of Commerce.
Traders complain to the company about the lack of stickers, and it seems that, today, the problem is far from being solved. Meanwhile, many consumers are looking for alternatives on bulk purchase and even on some unlicensed albums. In the coming weeks, newsstands hope to finally break this conflict.

The important thing is that we have very good players, “he added.
Scaloni later addressed various topics, but closed with the answer that everyone wanted to hear. The TD talked about Messi and scored: “He always wants to play.
