Argentina’s Coach Focuses on Present Over Future
Argentina’s coach Lionel Scaloni has advised fans to savor the performances of Lionel Messi and Angel Di Maria during the Copa America rather than speculating about their retirement. The world champions will kick off the tournament against Canada at Mercedes Benz Stadium on Thursday. With Messi turning 37 soon and Di Maria at 36, this could be their final Copa America.
Optimism and Strategy
Scaloni emphasized the importance of enjoying the moment: “It doesn’t make much sense to think about when they’re gone. Let’s enjoy them now.” He also confirmed that his squad is in top shape, with Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez ready to play despite a recent hernia operation.
Preparation Against Canada
Scaloni highlighted Canada as a formidable opponent with significant progress under their new coach. Argentina, aiming to defend their title, faces a challenging Group A, including matches against Chile and Peru.
