Scaloni pleased with how Argentina coped without Messi and Suarez
The Argentina national team is practically a participant in the World Cup. The "Albiceleste" came closer to securing their ticket to North America after a hard-fought victory over Uruguay, where head coach Lionel Scaloni had to manage without Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi, who did not join the squad due to injuries. However, he is pleased with the squad's depth.
Details: The head coach of the Argentina national team stated that this is the importance of a team, where one player can replace another.
Quote: “The national team is a team. When one is missing, another comes to help. We were missing some very important players, but we have great players who step onto the field. A team is always more than just names,” said Scaloni.
Reminder: With five rounds remaining, Argentina has secured a 15-point lead over seventh-placed Bolivia. A victory for Argentina in the match against Brazil on Tuesday will send the reigning world champions to the tournament in North America.
