The 32 teams that compete in the World Cup, no one is a failure! By qualifying they become one of the teams in football’s biggest arena. As Argentinian coach Lionel Scaloni wants to understand.
In a recent interview given to the sports website ESPN, Messi’s coach made it clear that his team is ready to fight against anyone. That doesn’t mean they will go home with the World Cup. They cannot give that much assurance. But there will be efforts, to anchor to the desired destination with the best.
Argentina is one of the favorites for this year’s World Cup, which will begin in November. They have already won two trophies under Scaloni, including the Copa America. They won the trophy by defeating Brazil.
This time the eyes are on the World Cup, Scaloni is speaking with his feet on the ground even though he thinks he is one of the best there, ‘The first match is against Saudi Arabia. All three matches are tough, but the first is an exception. That is the opening for us. Next is Mexico, who have traditionally been a great World Cup team. Their coach Gerard Martino is also excellent and they have some good players in the team. Poland is the team of Europe. They are not easy either. Players like Lewandowski, Zielinski are quality.’
However, Scaloni wants to progress match by match even if he gets a tough opponent. He does not want to make fun of anyone, ‘We will move forward match by match. But it is useless to say that I am going to win the World Cup. You can say, lying. There are several national teams. Yes, we are going to fight. This team can compete with anyone. There are ten teams who will fight for the trophy.
