Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni spoke about his players after the team’s 6-0 win against Bolivia.
Lionel Scaloni coached his team to a 6-0 win against Bolivia in the South American World Cup qualifiers on Tuesday and the team leads the table. Scaloni spoke to the media after the match. Here is what he had to say:
“The important thing is that the players go out on the field and play for their team, for their people.
“They were two matches loaded with many things but we managed to overcome them. In the end, as we tell the players, when you have the right attitude and good spirits, things happen and you don’t get upset.
“The best players are in the Argentine National Team and there is no relaxation. We believe that this also comes a lot from the young players, who are eager to be there.
“In the National Team the player gives his all, regardless of who is sitting on the bench. Those who are in the starting line-up are just as important as the rest. They all keep the group together and perform well when it’s their turn to play.
Scaloni also commented on the win against Bolivia:
“This was not an easy game. Then it opened up and the team was able to break free. We’ve played better games, but when you win like that, it’s magnified. We understand better how to play and that’s what time gives us.
“I think this team is eager to play the ball, to get together and pass it, to attack and not let them score. They feel comfortable passing the ball and recovering it quickly. If people are happy, it’s incredible for us. We don’t feel pressure, we enjoy it.”
This is what i really like as surely it plays an important role as now wonder some other NT teams around the world ” as underdogs” keep getting good results against bigger teams and i belive is big part of the key to succes, but offcourse u need the quality players too obviously, which ARG has allways had! :

It is more than amazing seeing how THE BEST PLAYER OF ALL TIME IN FOOTBALL HISTORY and all those ARG NT players( most relatively Still very young and who have won it all with ARG allready!) and those like MESSI ( ADM even now retired) Still playing so good and so joyfull seeing young players brought in to this team, which is not easy thing to do as everyone in team wan’ts to play obviously, but all are equally happy for each other and MESSI just ingnoring his EXTRA ORDINARIO performance and rather keep’s praising players Paz, Almada Carboni, well that is even better and MESSI IS SO WISE TO DO IT as all young players need it and obviously they need to play at highest level, but very few can jump in to a BEST TEAM in THE WORLD like ARG and perform even they will be surrounded and supported by the whole team and coaching, Still they know, that their minutes are limited to certain time, because only some can play and everyone want’s to play, but being in a BEST TEAM OF THE WORLD and getting minutes to play says a lot from them as players as obviously they been doing great in their Clubs and many who deserve call up to ARG NT TEAM just can’t get it, because amount of players called up will be allways obviously limited and everyone can’t be called up as ARG has allways had this as kind of ” good problem” a selection headache for coaches to pick up the players and in fact ARG could have had at least 2 very competive NT teams as obviously other would had been weaker, but the weaker could had Still most propably to Qualify…as talent i think never been lacking from ARGENTINA and look’s like it won’t happily as forexample in Italy things are not good, because street football is dying etc…
And good to see Molina having a game like this for a long time as he needs to get back his best and even so RB position has to get some more competition and hopefully more stronger with some options hopefully as on the LB there are at least options, which need to be intergrated at sone point, before WC in case of TAGLI not fit etc…, but it is not easy job for the coaching, but one they must and i’m sure they will also!
This game against Bolivia was not 100% must win, but the team needed to win and even better with such a performance at front of home fan’s everything and everybody included coaching in the team responded and pulled out such a performance and specially after 2 very difficult matches played in even more difficult conditions as one in the heat and with lot of humidity and other on allmost on water, lol!
Everything just worked out perfectly as MESSI more than delivered, when some were doubting as the whole team delivered too also the coaching with their subs who also delivered like everyone in the team!
It is like water is permanent, even if it has frozen to ice or it is in form of snow etc.
Still, it will be alllways water just like FIT MESSI WILL BE ALLWAYS FIT MESSI and GREATEST OF ALL TIME IN HISTORY OF FOTTBALL and nothing can change theese facts and theese facts been long known too, though obviously water is way older, than MESSI and luckily so as if MESSI just can stay FIT til’ next WC, well he will participate in way or another, but i think he is also more, than clever enough to not to decide so if he just can’t stay fit enough, which is not an easy decission to take by most players of his age, who could and have featured in WC with very old age in football terms as some obviously get it wrong with obviously many different reasons and some just, because their EGO bigger than they think etc..for example ” cry is my destiano”
Well, the FACTS ARE FACTS and nothing can TaKe them away from MESSI never ever!
well if he is FIT he will be there as some other players might/ would maybe say so allready so or anounce that they want to, but that will be foolish from Leo, because at that age it will be even way harder to know as, even, when u are on prime age as any injury or whatever in life can TaKe it away from any player as nothing is granted exept MESSI BEING THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME or water will be allways water etc…
So MESSI is way smarter as he does not really need to play any WCQ’s or proove anything to anybody, but ofcourse he does it, because of his love for ARG as ANGEL also retired, because of his love for ARG as he could be Still easily playing, but theese guys MESSI and ADM are not just the graetest foitballer’s of all time footballer’s of ARG as they no doubt amongst the greatest of all in whole history of football and MESSI IS THE GREATEST from them all, anyhow they are also very smart, clever and more than wise to know what they are doing on the pitch or off the pitch too!
The same level of efficient display as against Chile. Hope we continue with this eagerness and form straight into November.
