Scaloni inconsolable after winning the World Cup: won’t stop crying

Victories have many fathers, defeats only one, which in football is usually the coach. Argentina’s triumph is above all Messi’s triumph who won the World Cup at the age of 35. Everyone took a little cover. Firstly, the relentless penalty takers: from Dybala to Montiel, via Paredes and Lautaro, who scored the decisive penalty against the Netherlands. And obviously goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, the best in the event. Enzo Fernandez was also awarded. But if the orchestra was perfect, so is much of the credit. Lionel Scaloni who rebuilt a team that was perfect in the last three years and lost just one game.

Scaloni had been hired as interim coach after the 2018 World Cup. A long period of experience, then the official signing and the formation of an almost perfect team. The start of Qatar 2022 was sensational, ko with Saudi Arabia. A splendid conclusion, with an exciting final game. When Argentina-France ends. Scaloni burst into tears after making the sign of the cross. His players began to celebrate, he took a seat on the bench before saying goodbye to his wife and children and going up to the podium. And now he is one of the men of the moment. A great moment, something indescribable.

After the game he gave a series of interviews and appeared at the press conference, a very long conference where he talked about many things. First he praised Messi, but in general the entire Argentine national team: 🇧🇷Messi led his teammates behind him🇧🇷 It’s true that today was perfect. But the whole team behind it was really nice. The boys gave their all and understood what had to be done on the pitch. Deservedly champions, we played well, they only put us in difficulty a few times”.

But Scaloni also praised those who materially failed to win the title. The group is essential. Players excluded at the last minute due to injuries or technical choices also flew to Qatar: 🇧🇷Seeing the guys not included in the 26 on the pitch celebrating with us was brilliant.🇧🇷 The group that formed proves it. It can go wrong, but most of the time you can do it right and that’s what we hear in that process.”

At the conference there was also a question about maradona and speaking of Diego said: “I hope he had fun from up there. Fortunately we managed to win this cup we’ve dreamed of for a long time.” But after reaching the top of the world, he also took some pebbles out of his shoe, he told ‘El Clarin’: 🇧🇷With all the criticism we’ve received so far, I want to tell people to enjoy this victory🇧🇷 All those who dream of playing for the Argentine national team do what these guys did. Too bad we suffered so much today, but this team is capable of suffering.”
