Lionel Scaloni He spoke before the final of the America Cup in between Argentina y Colombia. The coach referred to the big game this Sunday in Miami, where the National Team is facing the possibility of winning its 16th continental title and the fourth overall (Copa América 2021, Finalissima 2022 and World Cup 2022) since the arrival of the coach born in Pujato.
In addition to referring to everything surrounding the clash against the Colombians, Scaloni was asked about Marcelo Bielsa’s statements and the incidents in the semifinal between Colombia and Uruguay.
“Each final has its nuance,” Scaloni began by saying, with the expectation typical of this type of match. Next to him he sat Emliano Dibu Martínez, repeating the cabal from the last conference before the final at the World Cup in Qatar. “The DNA of this team is always the same,” he said later.
“It is our fourth final and we are as excited as if it were the first,” said Dibu, who has been having a great tournament and is looking to repeat against the coffee team.
“Football is so nice because you can plan everything and something completely different ends up coming out, but we don’t have to miss any details,” explained the coach.
“It is a pleasure to see James play, Néstor (Lorenzo) is making him play very well. But we do not focus on any player, we defend ourselves as a team. Colombia is a great team and we will try to live up to it, the idea is to be owners of the game,” Scaloni responded when asked about the competition that James Rodríguez, the great Colombian figure, is playing.
Scaloni also spoke about Di María’s last game, and if that conditions him to play as a starter: “We always decide the formation based on the game, against Ecuador he did not play and it could have been his last game. Luckily it turned out well. As coaches We feel that this is basic, otherwise there are many conditions. Let’s hope that everything goes well and that Ángel can retire in the best way.”
At the end of the talk, Scaloni also spoke about Marcelo Bielsa’s press conference, in which the Argentine coach who leads Uruguay harshly criticized Conmebol for some shortcomings in the organization of the Copa América.
“I already made it clear because we were the first to play, and I still think about it. In the second conference I said that everything had already been said because there was no way to fix it. We had the draw in December and the fields were in that state at the beginning of the Cup. I thought it was good to leave that topic aside because it was not favorable for my team, we believed that it was best not to talk about it because it could sound like an excuse. But it is obvious, I totally agree regarding the fields.”
“I would also like to say something about the incidents after the match between Uruguay and Colombia, especially so that it is not repeated tomorrow. We had a similar situation at the Maracaná, where we had the family in the riots, and it is somewhat desperate. “We have to look at that, especially because we ask the players to be an example but I think none of them would act otherwise.”
“The image at the end of Colombia vs Uruguay was very sad and we hope that they will not be repeated tomorrow,” added the coach. And he added: “The images from the other day seem to be from 50 years ago and that worries me about what may happen tomorrow. I hope this message is well received.”
