Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni commented on Argentina’s 4-1 win against Brazil.

Lionel Scaloni commented on his team’s massive win against Brazil in the World Cup qualifiers. Speaking to the media after the match, here is what he had to say:

“It’s a team victory, because we played as a team and that’s why we minimized Brazil. It is the only way to beat these players. I think we played great matches and the important thing is to know how to interpret each one.

“There will be games in which we will suffer and others in which we will not. We have to show that we are capable of playing in different circumstances.

“It’s hard to put pressure on such a technical team. I think the quick goal helped them open up a little more. We were able to occupy the spaces better, especially with this type of players, who are all adapting very well.

“There are still things to do and many things can happen. We are going call up by call up, enjoying being there.

“I want people to enjoy this moment. We don’t know how long it will last, but at some point, it will take a turn.

“Hopefully, it lasts a long time, but in the meantime, let’s enjoy how these guys play. We will keep trying.”

Scaloni also spoke about the comments Raphinha made before the match:

“I forgive Raphinha because I know he didn’t do it on purpose, he’s defending his country. I’m completely sure he didn’t mean to hurt anyone.

“There’s no need for statements for the game to be played this way. We didn’t play like this because of that.”

Rodrigo De Paul started for Argentina in their 4-1 win against Brazil and stated after the match that people should respect them.

De Paul was part of the starting eleven and played the entire match for Argentina in their massive World Cup qualifying win. Speaking after the match to the media, here is what he had to say:

“We have never disrespected anyone beforehand. Over all these years, we have been disrespected quite a lot. No one helped us. We achieved everything on our own. And we keep proving it.

“For the past six years, we have been the best national team of all. Let them respect us.”

Leandro Paredes started for Argentina in their 4-1 win against Brazil and spoke about the comments made by the Brazilian players before the match.

Paredes had a standout performance for the Argentina national team in the win against Brazil. The Argentine was stringing passes deep from the Argentine midfield. Speaking after the match, here is what he had to say about the comments made by Brazilian players:

“You shouldn’t talk beforehand, especially when you can’t back it up on the field afterward. As soon as he [Raphinha] said that, we sent it to the WhatsApp group.”

“We always do our talking on the field.”
