Lionel Scaloni has spoken about the players that will be called up to the Argentina national team and for the World Cup.
The Argentina national team will play two World Cup qualifying matches against Uruguay and Brazil in March and the coach has spoken about the players who will be called up for those matches. Speaking in an interview with DSports, here is what he had to say:
“If we want to think about the World Cup, it’s time to give opportunities to players who haven’t been there yet.
“We are thinking about it and analyzing it, it is true that the base is there but… why not think about some kid who can contribute? Always knowing that the matches are difficult and if those boys don’t have enough matches, we can give them the opportunity.
“Because after that comes the serious stuff and we have to compete in a World Cup with guys that we need to have the shirt on and know what level they can give.
“We believe this is the right time and we will see if we can do it before the next call-up.”
Alexis Mac Allister has spoken about how Lionel Scaloni changed his career.
Mac Allister became a starter with the Argentina national team during the 2022 World Cup. He started Argentina’s 2-0 win against Poland and has kept his place in the team since that match. Speaking in an intervoew with La Media Inglesa, here is what he had to say:
“The one who changed my career was Scaloni because he had the balls to put me in. We were in a situation where it was win or win and he still had the courage to say ‘let’s put Alexis, who is 21 years old and never played a World Cup match’. My thanks always go to him. After that, you have to perform on the pitch”
