Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni spoke about the game vs. Mexico and the game vs. Poland on Wednesday.

Lionel Scaloni was at the press conference on Wednesday speaking prior to the game on Wednesday vs. Poland. Scaloni commented about the 2-0 win vs. Mexico. Here is what he had to say:

“Against Mexico, we ended up defending with five players. But we started as usual. We will do the same tomorrow. Poland also have very skilled, very fast players. We have to adapt but we won’t change much.”

Scaloni also spoke about the game vs. Poland:

“We are expecting a difficult game. Poland is a team that at times, will close the area very well and also generates situations in the area. It’s different depending on who is there. Our idea is clear. We will try to defend the dead ball with a lot of concentration.

“It’s true that most opponents change their way of playing against us but Poland have a good idea of playing and they have eleven players who could change a game. They could play with a line of four, a line of five… Although it’s known that our opponents play differently. We expect something similar, that they adapt to our idea of playing, which is pretty clear.”

When asked about Robert Lewandowski:

“He’s a great player, it’s a privilege and a pleasure to be able to see him up close like any other fan. If he is at the same level as Messi? You have to enjoy him, you don’t have to compare.”

Lisandro Martínez spoke at a press conference about Argentina’s game vs. Poland at the World Cup.

Martínez was the player who spoke at the press conference on Tuesday with Lionel Scaloni speaking after him. Lisandro was a substitute for Argentina in the 2-1 loss vs. Saudi Arabia but started against Mexico in the 2-0 win. When asked about the game vs. Mexico and the Argentina team, here is what he had to say:

“It was a decisive game. We did very well and after the match, we were all very happy. The team responded very well against Mexico.

“You can’t compare a World Cup game. Be it a Copa America or a Finalissima. The matches are very closed and we are looking to be able to give much more. We still haven’t gotten to what we can do.

“We have to remain calm, we can’t overload ourselves with too much pressure. We have to let it flow. We have to keep working like this. We know how important it is to represent the Argentina national team and wear this shirt. We are going to give our all.”

“We know that we have a big team, a big player, big potential. But it’s not only Argentina, it’s the World Cup. It’s not easy to play against every team, every game but we have to believe in our qualities. I think that we have to do it.

“Us as players, we have to adapt to any system and we are working to be prepared. We adapt to everything, be it a line of three or line of four.”

Regarding the game vs. Poland:

“I still don’t know the team. Poland is a very difficult team, they have important players like Lewandowski. We have to think about ourselves.

“We have to remain focused during the 90 minutes and play a swift way in defence.

“Poland is a very difficult opponent, defensively they are very solid and they have very good players.

“It’s going to be difficult, I think it will come down to details. We have seen Poland, we can tell that it’s a very tough opponent and they defend very well, that’s the reality.”

In regards to the loss vs. Saudi Arabia, here is what he had to say:

“It’s when you learn the most. The group is stronger, more prepared. When you are with the national team, you live everything.”
