“Receive that news It was a shock. Things have to be talked about. We haven’t had a talk with him yet,” said Nicolás Otamendi, author of the great goal that won against Brazil, when he left the Maracaná. The National Team defender had to quickly change his mind: instead of referring to his headbutt, he stopped to respond about the future of Scaloni, who hinted that he may leave his position. “The feelings are positive and I have no doubt that the decision will be his. We will try everything to keep him going,” Otamendi added.
Nicolás Otamendi – 11-22-2023
“We will try to talk to Scaloni and see what happened,” Otamendi said.
Alexis Mac Allister was the other player who had to face the microphones after Scaloni’s bomb. And, like Otamendi, he assured that the players were not aware of the issue: “We did not speak with Scaloni. We must respect his feelings, but I hope he does not leave. We want it to continue forever.”
Scaloni’s surprising statement
We have to stop the ball and start thinking, I have many things to think about at this time. These players have given us a lot to the coaching staff and I need to think a lot about what I am going to do. It’s not goodbye or anything else, but I need to think because the bar is very high and it is difficult to continue and it is difficult to continue winning. These kids make it difficult, so it’s time to think about this time. I’ll tell the president and the players later. This National Team needs a coach who has all the possible energy and who is well. “I’m commenting on what’s happening.”
From joy to uncertainty. To worry. To the paralyzed hearts. Incredibly and unexpectedly (it didn’t seem to be an opportune moment), the last response of Lionel Scaloni In his conference after the historic triumph against Brazil, he was as shocking as he was forceful: alone, in the middle of a monologue that stunned a large part of the country that was still awake well after midnight, He questioned his continuity at the head of the National Team. And although he did not guarantee that he will leave in the short term, The truth is that he hinted that his cycle could have an end sooner rather than later…
Yes, hard to think. A statement that, taken as a whole and contextualized with the voice and tones of the DT, opens a very big question; but if it is analyzed in parts, the negative can take a predominant place. The thing is that although he clarified that “It’s not goodbye or anything else”it is no small matter that he points out that he needs “think a lot” and reveal that “This National Team needs a coach who has all the possible energy and who is well”: From this it follows that, after the game in Rio de Janeiro, He would not be at that emotional level that he demands so much from those he directs.
Lionel Scaloni – 22-11-2023
Scaloni questioned his future
Is it a decision that encompasses more than energy? It is not yet known, but it would seem so. At least in a first analysis, making an announcement of this type at a totally festive moment sounds out of context: In the back room of his words there is an internal wear and tear, a distaste for some logistical issues and other details that have him uneasy.. Despite what is said in the next few hours, the reality is that his decision is still being evaluated and we will have to wait. In fact, He did not resign in the Maracaná locker room.
There, in that room where you could breathe a festive atmosphere similar to what had been experienced minutes before on the playing field, even there was surprise: although the players are aware of the situation they are going through Stairs and the topics described, The truth is that they learned from the conference that this could lead to the end of the cycle less than a year after having embraced glory in Qatar against France. Surely, in the coming days there will be a meeting between the DT and the Chiqui Tapia to deal with this situation: those around the president of the AFA are optimistic that this can be resolved favorably.
It is worth remembering that in February of this year, the renewal of the coach who won the Copa América and Finalissima in 2021 and the 2022 World Cup had been delayed to a certain point, but for another reason quite different from the current one: At that time, they could not reach an agreement between both parties due to the economic issue., something that was finally sealed in Paris, in the run-up to The Best gala. The contract, which still stands, runs until 2026.
