Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni spoke at the classic pre-match press conference and although he did not confirm the team did say that Sergio Aguero will be from the game in the face of rumors that were generated by his possible departure from the team.
“I confirm that Agéero is going to be a starter, so that no doubts are generated,” the Argentine coach said.
Accompanied by Guido Rodríguez, Scaloni defined the midfield as the possible area that allows the national to win the match: “We believe that we can have superiority in the middle of the court, if Brazil plays as it has been doing,” he argued. Doubts about Aguero’s participation were given by a possible entry of Angel di Maria, located on the right and thus being able to better reinforce the environment.
