The Argentina national team will play Switzerland at the World Cup and coach Lionel Scaloni could have his starting eleven in mind.
Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni spoke at a press conference after the team trained in Kansas City. According to SC_ESPN, Lionel Scaloni could repeat the same starting eleven as the one that won 3-2 against Egypt. This is the rumored eleven:
Emiliano Martínez; Tagliafico, Lisandro Martínez, Romero, Molina; Enzo, Mac Allister, Paredes, De Paul, Julián Álvarez and Messi
“I think we’re doing well, beyond the match against Cabo Verde, where we played 120 minutes. But the team generated a ton of chances. With Egypt, we created even more and had some specific errors. But I think the team is doing well.
“For all of us, they’re playing one of the games of their lives and that counts because if the opponent plays well, it’s twice as difficult. We’ve gotten used to that and the team rebels and competes. It’s not easy to play the way we played in Qatar.
“Lautaro and Julián have done more than they have to do. Generally one plays but like the other day, it can happen that we have the option for them to play together sometimes. The assessment is positive with both.”
Scaloni also spoke about Lionel Messi:
“Leo runs about the same in the matches. He’s decisive and the team helps him. He’s done a great preparation and he’s giving everything he’s got. When he senses that he can create danger, he’s a machine. It doesn’t surprise us.
“As long as he wants to, he’s going to be the best. That’s what those of us who know him and see him train think. I don’t even want to imagine what it must have been like for him at 23-24 years old at Barcelona. It doesn’t surprise me.”
He also spoke about Switzerland:
“There is no easy opponent, we all already know that. Switzerland is a very good team that competes with the best national teams and comes out on top. It has a World Cup tradition and experienced players. It will be a tough opponent, one we respect.”
