L’Argentina returns to the field in the Copa America, now things get serious with the start of the quarter-finals: at 3:00 am, Italian time, Messi and companions will face theEcuadorwith still some doubts about the formation that the Albiceleste coach Lionel Scaloni will have to clarify.
One above all, which has become a catchphrase: Lautaro Martinez or Julian Alvarez as 9? Here are the words of the coach in the pre-match press conference, reported by TycSports: “Lautaro Martínez and Julián Álvarez together? It’s an option, they already played together against Ecuador. They worked well and we’ll see today after training with the team. Lautaro is in a great moment, as is Julián: they both scored and I’m happy about that. I hope they continue to perform this well, I’m happy with their contribution”.
The protests of Dorival Junior, Brazil’s coach, for the refereeing against Colombia, have raised controversy in the United States, but Scaloni preferred to stay away from it: “On the internet, anyone can write anything. In Qatar they said the same thing. When you win, people tend to say that the referees favor you. I don’t think so. Referees can make mistakes, they are human beings. There are decisions, even with VAR, that are normal, we don’t yet have the technology they use in Europe. There is still human error, regardless of whether VAR exists”.
