They really found it out in the mixed zone of the Red Bull Arena in New Jersey or are very good actors. The Argentine national team players were surprised this Tuesday when the press consulted them on the official renewal of Lionel Scaloni as manager, just before the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
“I didn’t know, but Scaloni’s renewal makes me happy,” he replied Rodrigo De Paoloone of the leading exponents of this process which will continue, at least, until 2026, as confirmed by the president of the AFA, Claudio Chiqui Tapia.
“Leo is a coach who is constantly asking himself and us to enter in the best way. We hope this is in the best way,” he added.
Another of the words authorized by the time in defense of the Argentine national team is that of Nicola Otamendi.
“A coach has never been given such peace of mind. Leo, like Mouse and Walter, we hope it will be the best for them, for us and for the future,” he said.
