A message: Changes to Mundo Albiceleste, reduced ads, new design

Hello everyone,

Since the start of the new year, we have been experimenting with different ads and locations across the Mundo Albiceleste website. And if we are being completely honest, it was time for a permanent change.

We have also been hearing and reading all of your feedbacks and are happy to announce what we believe are significant changes. The number of ads on the website have been reduced (we believe significantly) and ultimately, while the ads do help in keeping up with the maintenance of the website, we still want every one to enjoy viewing and reading the content.

Mundo Albiceleste was built by Argentina fans and for Argentina fans, which is why we believe that should remain the priority and will remain the priority.

Should you have any comments or suggestions, please, do let us know in the comments below or email us at mundoalbiceleste10@gmail.com. Our aim is to continue to improve and to provide more content (which we will continue to be doing and will be introducing new sections throughout the year) than we ever have before. And to aim for quality over quantity.

As always, your feedback is strongly appreciated. Mundo Albiceleste has been around since 2006 and we would not be where we are without the Mundo Albiceleste family.

Thank you,

Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni speaks after win vs. Zambia

Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni spoke to the media after the team’s 5-0 win against Zambia.

Lionel Scaloni held a press conference after the match where he discussed the team’s performance, Lionel Messi and players being called up. Here is what he had to say about the match:

“The important thing is that what happened the other day didn’t happen again; I think today it was shown that it was an accident and the team, by working together, manages to play well.

“With this shirt, you can’t relax. You can play well or poorly but there are things that must not happen and the team understood that. That’s the most important thing.

“The player always has to feel that any national team match is crucial in consideration, I think they all understand that.

“The players give their all. In football, we know that the best doesn’t always win but there are ways and ways to carry out a line of play. And the demand has always been the maximum and they have responded.”

Scaloni also spoke about Lionel Messi:

“If he (Messi) wants to come, it will be an honor again We have the feeling that he always wants to be there and compete. Hopefully that’s the case and we can enjoy him.”

When talking about the team and calling up players:

“Everyone has a chance to be a starter, we don’t bring in players to make up the numbers. There should always be balance in the team.

“The team grows strong through ball possession. We emphasize that, which also has to do with how well the players know each other and these are things we have already tested.

“Many of the players are going to play important things towards the end of the season and we wish for all of them to arrive in the best possible way from now on.

“We have to prepare because what is coming is going to be really tough. We have seen great football and hopefully we can keep delivering it.

“The first thing I think about when deciding on call-ups is the physical and mental state. Everyone who is here already knows what they play for and they know what the team plays for.

“It will be a very complex, difficult World Cup. We will need everyone to arrive in the best possible shape and in that way compete against whoever.”

Lionel Messi, Julián Álvarez, Nicolás Otamendi and Valentín Barco score in 5-0 win vs. Zambia

Lionel Messi, Julián Álvarez, Nicolás Otamendi and Valentín Barco all scored for Argentina in their 5-0 win against Zambia.

In possibly Lionel Messi and Nicolás Otamendi’s last matches with the Argentina national team in Argentina, both players scored in the win. With the score at 0-0, Leandro Paredes played a pass from deep to Lionel Messi who passed it to Julián Álvarez and Álvarez scored to give Argentina the 1-0 lead.

At 1-0, Lionel Messi played a pass to Alexis Mac Allister who passed it back to Messi and he scored from close range to score Argentina’s second goal of the match. He made it a goal and an assist in the match.

With Argentina leading 2-0, Thiago Almada was tripped inside the penalty area and Argentina were awarded a penalty kick. Messi pointed to Nicolás Otamendi to take it.

Nicolás Otamendi went to the goalkeeper’s right and the goalkeeper dove the wrong way. Otamendi scored to give Argentina the 3-0 lead.

Lionel Scaloni would bring on Rodrigo De Paul, Valentín Barco and Nicolás González for Alexis Mac Allister, Nicolás Tagliafico and Leandro Paredes.

At 3-0, Thiago Almada and Valentín Barco played passes into the penalty area and Almada’s pass hit a Zambia player and went in for the own goal.

Nicolás Otamendi was substituted off in his last match with the Argentina national team in Argentina. Lucas Martínez Quarta was substituted in his place. Scaloni also brought on Giuliano Simeone for Julián Álvarez.

Juan Musso, Nico Paz and Máximo Perrone were substituted in for Emiliano Martínez, Enzo Fernández and Thiago Almada.

Nicolás González would pass it to Valentín Barco inside the penalty area and he would score to give Argentina the 5-0 lead.

Lionel Scaloni’s team will play Serbia in June before the World Cup.
