Argentina coach Lionel SCALONI gave an interview with Direc TV Sports where he discussed the team.

The manager stated that he would like to play a 4-4-2 formation but did not mention names. In regards to the team, here’s what he had to say:

“Today, Argentina are in no condition to fight against the best teams in the world. I try to go with the truth, always, even if it hurts. When I played, it was important for me that the coach tells me the truth.”

SCALONI talking about the style of play:

“The style of play worries me, it’s important in football but at times, not the most important. At Barcelona, at times, you don’t know what system they use but they always win and they don’t win because they play with two lines of four but because they play well.

“Playing styles are important but not the only thing. We try to play different ways but the way we feel football is the same.”

Argentina legend Claudio CANIGGIA spoke about the current state of the team as well as Paulo DYBALA.

Speaking in an interview with Fox Sports, the former Argentina man gave his thoughts on the team and more specifically DYBALA. Here’s what he had to say:

“When are you going to appear? You are 25 years old. You’re a great player. You play with Juventus with the number 10 on the back but I want you with the Argentina national team.

“I want you to appear and to play with Argentina. He’s a great player. Surely a nice guy too but he’s already 25 years old. He has to appear and he has to carry the weight. I say that with good vibes to DYBALA and to LO CELSO.”

CANIGGIA also spoke about sharing the responsibilities on the team:

“Have three or four take charge and drag the rest. The rest will follow you as they followed BURRUCHAGA, MARADONA, VALDANO.

“The responsibility is for each of them to take chard. If MESSI is 30 meters away and the play has to go left, you can’t look for MESSI to solve everything. I want players to hold the ball and not to be thinking where MESSI is.”
