Scaloni: Whether Messi can maintain the level of the team on the court, we have gotten rid of this dependence

At 8:00 on June 11, the 16th round of the World Cup qualifiers, Argentina vs. Colombia. Before the game, Argentina coach Scaloni attended the press conference.

Messi will start against Colombia

Scaloni: "I haven't thought about whether we are the best in the world. Messi will start, there is no doubt about this. I hope the fans can enjoy his performance and the team."

Colombia coach Lorenzo

Scaloni: "Colombia lacks luck in many games that should have won, and I don't think they are in a low position. If you win one or two more games, you could have risen to second place, and the data will sometimes lie. This is an excellent team, one of the best national teams in the world, and will definitely cause trouble for us. As for the situation inside their locker room, I don't know anything."

Assistant coach Samuel

Scaloni: "Saumuel received an invitation from Zivo to join Inter Milan, but he will continue to stay in Argentina."

Team Strength

Scaloni: "We are a competitive team that can be equally matched with any national team. Of course, when we are in poor condition, we may also lose to such strong teams, but Argentina will always be the top strong team."

Team's performance when Messi was absent

Scaloni: "At this stage, regardless of whether Messi plays or not, the team can maintain the same competitive level. This was even more difficult in the past, but now we have gotten rid of this dependence and the team's operation is still efficient." (El equipo está en un momento en el que puede jugar de la misma manera, estando Leo o no estando. Antes era más complete y esa necessary hoy no la tenemos, el equipo funciona igual ")

Compared with European teams

Scaloni: "Although from the perspective of viewing and fans, I am not obsessed with playing against European teams. It's not a key battle for me, our players are playing against them every week. I am happy to confront you, but it doesn't matter if I can't do it. ”

Congratulations to Portugal on winning the UEFA Champions League

Scaloni: "How is our strength comparison? The match is equal and can compete with it. We have the strength to compete equally. If we are in poor condition when we play against other strong teams, we will also fall into a hard battle. Today's football teams are very close to each other. ”

Naldoni's reason for the election

Scaloni: "This is a player we continue to pay attention to, but the recruitment process is always to call and communicate first. The source of the rumors is unknown. He is indeed on the preparatory list, and like many rookies in the future, he still has the chance to be selected. ”
