“The feeling today is joy. we celebrate, but tomorrow you have to prepare the next game. Happiness lasts very little and you have to have a balance when you win and when you lose”, raised a measured Lionel Scaloni after the great victory against the selection of Mexico.
At a press conference, the Argentine coach pondered his team: “They faced a terribly difficult match against a great rival and with all the magnitude that it had. Is not easy play these games. I’m proud of what our players have done.”
Along these lines, he continued: “It’s exciting for what we all know. Family suffers, friends suffer. When you go out onto the field knowing that it’s all or nothing, it’s very difficult; but they have known how to face it. It is what this National Team has to represent, whether you play soccer or bolita”.
Scaloni also referred to Gerardo Martino’s proposal for Mexico: “The ‘Tata’ He gave us difficulties in the first part, but we were able to overcome them. The dressing room was fine at halftime. We knew the difficulty of the match, we asked the players for patience. The second half we faced it differently, in a more aggressive way. It was difficult to play soccer, they had a line of 5, four midfielders.”
And concluded: “You had to rub the lamp and the genius appeared. Having Messi is a plus. It’s like that We have a team of enormous hierarchy, but also Fortunately there is leo Today everything went well, but We have to play another game, with our heads held high and humble. We have to continue on this path.”
