Composure is the ultimate key to success.
Details: On the eve of tomorrow's World Cup round of 16 match against Cape Verde, Argentina's head coach Lionel Scaloni addressed claims that FIFA allegedly favored his team through referee decisions and the tournament bracket draw.
Scaloni responded calmly to journalists' questions, stressing that he pays no attention to such discussions.
"I don't read social media. It's very simple. The problem nowadays is that someone throws out a comment, maybe completely unfounded, but because of some minor incident, the situation suddenly gets blown out of all proportion. I think you just have to completely detach yourself from all that," Scaloni stated.
The Albiceleste boss made it clear the squad is fully focused on their World Cup campaign and has no intention of being distracted by the rumors and accusations swirling around the tournament.
