Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni spoke about the hydration breaks at the World Cup.

Lionel Scaloni spoke at a press conference about the Argentina national team and Lionel Messi. In the same press conference, Scaloni also commented on the hydration breaks. Here is what he had to say:

“There’s no easy match. In this World Cup, there are more matches but the group stage has always been tough for everyone.

“The heat conditions, constantly stopping the match, ends up giving a hand to the theoretically somewhat weaker team. It ahs time to recover and prepare things that maybe it didn’t have before. It’s been done to have more time and in the end, the match ends up getting a bit choppy. That thing with four times almost feels like it’s real. It’s been done and here we are to make it work.

“Everything I have in my head can change based on what happens in those 22, 23 minutes. We have people up top analyzing the match and us sitting on the bench. We look for solutions and do what’s done in a normal halftime. Sometimes I get confused saying it’s only for the weaker rival, it also gives the team that wants to attack time to adjust.

“It feels weird adapting to that. I imagine that in time, if it keeps being done, it’ll become something normal like all the things that have been made almost normal. This still isn’t normal for us, it makes things pretty choppy.

“There are times when matches shift from one way to another in the same period just because of this because they’re there to make corrections. I understand it’ll get better. There are people who analyze and show computers or tablets. We go more for the one on one and talking. Everyone has their own little playbook.”

Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni spoke at a press conference about the team and about Lionel Messi.

Lionel Scaloni spoke at a press conference with Enzo Fernández and Scaloni spoke about the team. Here is what he had to say:

“The team is well and ready for the match tomorrow.

“Austria is a difficult opponent with very good players. They pressure well and they had a great qualification. No doubt, it will be a complicated match.

“There is no easy match at this World Cup.

“We try to watch every match. It’s great, you learn a lot of things and above all, we enjoy it.

“You can’t always dominate the ball in a match but the important thing is for the team to react when that happens.

“After Qatar, the team also had good games. The team is showing signs that it always wants to improve.

“Everyone is available to play.
