Along with Emiliano Martínez, Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni spoke at Tuesday’s press conference.

Even though Scaloni didn’t confirm the lineup for the Finalissima to be played this Wednesday against Italy, he had several thoughts to share. He emphasized that although his team has not lost a match since almost three years ago (0-2 vs Brazil, Copa America 2019), they “are not invincible”:

“The important thing here is not to believe we are unbeatable. We are a team that won a tournament but the road for us continues”.

Talking specifically about the Finalissima vs. Italy, this is what Scaloni had to say:

“Italy won the last Euros. It is a national team of the highest level that has been doing a great job.

“I hope tomorrow we play like we have been doing. We have no doubt that we will compete. It is always important to play against the best to see where we are.”

Also, Argentina’s coach explained what does playing with the national team implies, what he takes into consideration for choosing one player over the other, and he complimented Marcos Senesi:

“Playing with this jersey always means competing to the max.

“We value the performance that the players have and not where they play.

“Marcos Senesi is a left-footed center-back who is tall and has a great touch. I hope he takes his opportunity.”

Marcos Acuña is not fit to start for the Argentina national team as Nicolas Tagliafico will be in the eleven for the Finalissima match.

Acuña is not fit as Tagliafico will start for Argentina. According to Gastón Edul, the eleven is confirmed. Here is the starting eleven:

Dibu Martínez; Molina, Romero, Otamendi, Tagliafico; De Paul, Guido Rodríguez, Lo Celso; Messi, Lautaro and Di María.

Emiliano Martínez spoke at a press conference about the Finalissima match at Wembley.

Martínez was present on Tuesday where he spoke about the Argentina national team, the Finalissima match and his fitness.

The Argentine will start against Italy on Wednesday. He had missed Aston Villa’s last league match of the season to join the Argentina national team. Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, here is what he had to say:

“I can’t wait for the game to arrive. At national team level, it’s true we haven’t played against a European team. Tomorrow we are going to play against a great opponent, Italy are a great team. We know that Italy is a very tactical team and works well defensively.

“We were crowned champions at the Maracaná and that is unbeatable. But if we have to choose another stadium to lift a trophy, it’s Wembley. All Argentines want to win in England.

“My dream ever since I was a kid was to play for the Argentina national team.”

In regards to his fitness, here is what he had to say:

“I don’t have to be operated on. It’s pain in my kneecap that I have had since I was 17 years old. I’m doing treatment with Batista and in 20 days I’ll be fine. I’ll start preseason with my team perfectly.”

He will be starting for Argentina in the Finalissima on Wednesday.

The Argentina national team are flying to England for their match against Italy in the Finalissima match on Wednesday with a rumored eleven being spoken about.
