All the happiness that Lionel Scaloni is living with the sporting present of his team, American champion and very close to sealing his ticket to the World Cup, contrasts with the personal moment that the technical director of the Argentine national team is going through. DT himself confessed that he is not going through “a good family situation”, which prevents him from “thinking about the World Cup”, for which his team was close to qualifying after the recent triple date of the South American Qualifiers towards Qatar 2022.
“I am not here to think about the World Cup; it does not interest me at all. The first thing I want is to go home, since I have not seen my family for a long time,” said the coach in a passage of the subsequent virtual press conference to the victory over Peru in the Monumental.
“I am not going through a good family situation to be thinking about the World Cup, I want to go, these months were very hard. I do not want to know anything else, today this triple date is over and we will see what we do later,” admitted Scaloni. The parents of the National Team coach are going through a difficult time of health, so in recent months Scaloni was away from his family, which is based in Spain.
The Argentine team will play again next month, on November 11 against Uruguay in Montevideo, and on November 16 with Brazil in San Juan, two classics that can ensure their ticket to the next World Cup.
