Lionel Scaloni spoke at a press conference where he stated that Lionel Messi will start for Argentina against Zambia and he also spoke about the Argentina national team list for the World Cup.
“We talked with Panichelli. He even came to the training ground after getting the results when he could have easily just stayed at the hotel.
“He asked to talk with us, it was really emotional. Everything he said made total sense, he particularly didn’t deserve this.
“He’s a hard worker, he’d earned it. I told him he’ll get another chance, he’s a kid who inspires everyone.”
