Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni spoke at a press conference about the match against Egypt at the World Cup.

“Egypt is a very good team. On top of having world class players, Egypt has a coach who has been working for a long time and they have a clear playing style. They have made things difficult for all of their opponents.

“The idea is to avoid those transitions that Cabo Verde had, where they arrived and hurt us. We are a team that defends from the ball and it’s a bit about that.

“Salah is a great player. It’ll be a pleasure to face him. We have always taken precautions from a collective standpoint.

“We had several talks with the players. We spoke yesterday about Egypt. We discussed how to face this opponent. This is a different rival and we know we can’t lose our essence. We emphasized what we believe we need to have for the team to be the one we know.”

“I always see myself within the team, I train every day for that.

“We can’t always leave behind the image that we want, the other day, we suffered.

“We are good physically, fatigue is normal, the heat and the pitch played a role.”

About the World Cup:

“It’s making noise to see Brazil out but there are no easy matches, all the national teams are strong.”

Thiago Almada spoke about the Argentina national team before the training on Monday.

Almada started Argentina’s 3-2 win against Cabo Verde but was substituted out. Speaking to Doble Amarilla before Argentina’s training on Monday, here is what he had to say:

“One tries to do and give their best for the team. Sometimes, we might need something else on the team and that’s why we get substituted.
