Lionel Scaloni held a press conference after the team’s 2-1 loss against Paraguay in the World Cup qualifiers. Speaking to the media, here is what he had to say:

“I’m not here to criticize my players, I’m here to support them. We knew it was going to be a complicated match. We are here to move forward and give confidence to many new players.
