Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni comments on Joaquín Panichelli’s injury

Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni commented on Joaquín Panichelli’s injury.

Joaquín Panichelli suffered an ACL injury in training and is going to miss the World Cup. The 23 year old was part of the Argentina national team for the two matches against Mauritania and Zambia but had to leave due to the injury.

Lionel Scaloni spoke at a press conference where he stated that Lionel Messi will start for Argentina against Zambia and he also spoke about the Argentina national team list for the World Cup.

“We talked with Panichelli. He even came to the training ground after getting the results when he could have easily just stayed at the hotel.

“He asked to talk with us, it was really emotional. Everything he said made total sense, he particularly didn’t deserve this.

“He’s a hard worker, he’d earned it. I told him he’ll get another chance, he’s a kid who inspires everyone.”

  1. Hi friends, i am Vishnu. That superstitious fan of Argentina. I still believe its all part of karma or destiny. This Argentine team is humble and consist of players who plays with their heart. And that is the way to glory.
    Its all like a pattern. Messi lost copa america in USA and even led to his temporary retirement and that same soil witnessed the same player winning the copa america.
    We lost the world cup in maracana and that same stadium witnessed Argentina winning the copa america beating Brazil and witnessed the beginning of a glorious era. We got the revenge against Croatia and France by dominating them and winning the world cup. Now its again the world cup is in USA. And the revenge against Germans is still pending. I still believe like Messi has still that vicious play left in him and i believe its Maradona who is eager to get redemption in USA soil and to win the world cup in that same country in which he had won the world cup in 1986. I still believe Argentina vs Germany final would be the perfect match for the full redemption of Argentina through this glorious Argentine generation.
    Players like simeone and Gonzales are crucial. Plus we need one player who can make difference in the wings. May be prestianni or echeverri who ever it is. We need a winger who can make the difference in the final third. Then this team is complete. Our full backs have the fight in them. Thats enough. Molina or tag in their best days would be monsters. No doubt in that. This team is destined for greatness. I am sure about it. And its upto scaloni to extract the most out of this team. Do you think a team like France could challenge us? No, they would get bullied by our team effort. They won’t have a chance. We can play different styles. We have versatile and unpredictable players. Its for us. Go for the glory Argentina. Vamos 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷.
