Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni spoke at a press conference on Thursday before the team’s Round of 32 match against Cabo Verde at the World Cup.
Lionel Scaloni held a press conference on Thursday where he spoke about the team’s match against Cabo Verde in Miami, Florida. Speaking to the media, here is what he had to say:
“We are excited like everyone else but we have an opponent to respect.
“The one who loses goes home and we have to take that into account. Very close matches are being played, it’s not going to be easy.
“Cabo Verde is a team that hasn’t lost and against Saudi Arabia they even deserved to win. They block passes well and know how to break on the counter. They are a good team.
“Maybe it would have been better to play it at night because of the heat but the temperature is the same for both. We don’t complain about that.”
Scaloni also spoke about Lionel Messi:
“The team creates many chances. Leo is not only a great player but also one of the team’s forwards. We try to get everyone to score but the important thing is what we have been creating.”
