Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni has posted a message on his Instagram after Argentina’s World Cup final loss.

Lionel Scaloni is in Argentina, having already spoken to fans and the media. On Sunday, the Argentina national team coach posted on his Instagram about the World Cup final. Here is what he posted:

“After an intense week where sadness mixed with joy, tears with smiles, anxiety with peace and nerves with calm, I can finally sit down and write a few words. Even though you all know I’m not someone who likes social media very much, maybe this is the best way to reach you.

“The first thing I want to say is that I’m sorry we couldn’t bring you another trophy and give you another reason to be happy, even if it was only for a few days and help you forget about life’s difficult moments.

“But I want you to remember what this group of players, my warriors, as I always called them when I spoke about them to my wife, tried to show you.

“Their hard work, their desire to keep going, their belief, their “I can do it” attitude, never giving up even when everything feels impossible, giving everything they have even when they have nothing left, taking criticism from people who don’t even know us, staying united and continuing to fight even when their legs no longer respond to what their minds are asking them to do.

“That is the real trophy.

“I will always be grateful to my coaching staff, my players, the AFA staff, everyone who works quietly behind the scenes to make sure we have everything we need and to every one of you for all the love and support you’ve given us.

“Lionel Scaloni

“P.S. Whoever has an Argentine friend has a treasure.”
