Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni spoke at a press conference about the match against Egypt at the World Cup.
Lionel Scaloni held a press conference on Monday where he spoke about the match against Egypt. Here is what he had to say:
“Egypt is a very good team. On top of having world class players, Egypt has a coach who has been working for a long time and they have a clear playing style. They have made things difficult for all of their opponents.
“The idea is to avoid those transitions that Cabo Verde had, where they arrived and hurt us. We are a team that defends from the ball and it’s a bit about that.
“Salah is a great player. It’ll be a pleasure to face him. We have always taken precautions from a collective standpoint.
“We had several talks with the players. We spoke yesterday about Egypt. We discussed how to face this opponent. This is a different rival and we know we can’t lose our essence. We emphasized what we believe we need to have for the team to be the one we know.”
