Lionel Scaloni: “The most important thing is that the players don't feel like owners of the National Team and that the coach is always watching and that there are guys behind fighting for their place.” Scaloni on Messi’s future in Argentina: “Leo is fine, until he says otherwise, he'll keep coming here. He's happy on the pitch and in the National Team.“ Lionel Scaloni: “It's very emotional to wear the jersey with three stars. Let's hope it won't take so long to get the next one….
Lionel Scaloni on Retegui: “We have very good players in his position. Right now, we were not convinced to summon him. I hope he does well in Italy.“ Lionel Scaloni: “Unfortunately there are only 26 who have the World Cup title, but all those who were in the process are also part of it. They all gave their bit.” Lionel Scaloni: “I love to see that the National Team belongs to everyone. I love that the players come with that enthusiasm as if they’re for the first time.”
Lionel Scaloni: “I want to thank the players again for winning the title, but I also tell them that this continues. Now it's going to cost us more than ever because everyone is going to want to beat us, even more than before.. but we will compete, that’s the most important.”
