“The sacrifice, the companionship, the humility, the work, it’s adding much more opportunities on the wings in attacks. We have players that can unbalance the opposition during one on one’s. That, we were able to achieve but we know that there are things to improve. We will try to do that.”

Scaloni also spoke about Lionel Messi.

“Winning magnifies everything. For the people, he was already an idol. Imagine now that he has won… Seeing everyone excited fills us with joy but it lasts until the end of the press conference.
