Scaloni, storm pilot

The unexpected defeat against Saudi Arabia in the debut and the first 60 minutes of the match against Mexico presented themselves to Argentina as storm heads do, sowing the idea of ​​a dark and uncertain future, with clouds, lightning and thunder. Then the eyes fixed again on the coach, Lionel Scaloni, who had not found answers to the tactical approach of Arabia, planned by the former French soccer player Hervé Renard, and had not yet found a way around the game against those led by Gerardo Martino.

With time running sharp on the chances of the national team, the coach of the National Team put on the storm pilot suit to try to get the team out of the crisis that was coming. Scaloni kept calm and had the coldness that leaders must have to move the right levers and make the right decisions. His good reading of the contingency boosted the income of Enzo Fernández –a great goal at 2-0–, Julián Álvarez and Nahuel Molina, who allowed the team to reconfigure, get involved and commit, as Messi did with that saving right hand, to be able to overcome the situation and definitely open the game.

It is not easy, of course, to be a storm pilot. It takes courage, determination, fortitude to get out of danger, and it takes, above all things, attitude. After all, it is the attitude that always tips the balance. Lionel Messi, who celebrated his goal, 1-0 in front of the Argentine fans, towards them, had openly anticipated it as soon as the game against the Arabs finished: “The truth? I’m dead. It’s a very hard blow because “We didn’t expect to start that way. Things always happen for a reason. We have to prepare for what’s coming. We have to win. We’re going to be closer than ever. This group is strong and we’ve shown it.” The National Team showed today that it is ready to fight and that, like Scaloni, storms do not intimidate them.
