Scaloni, after the win against Indonesia: “I had a positive feeling, it was not easy”

After the victory against Indonesia by 2 – 0 with goals from Paredes and Romero, the world champion Argentine team closed its Asian tour and, now, must wait until September to have a new meeting, which will be officially by qualifiers for the World Cup 2026.De this way, in dialogue with the press, Technical director Lionel Scaloni analysed the win: “I had a positive feeling, we took the game forward, it was not easy, as the second opponent was not well known.” In addition, on Indonesia, he explained that “an opponent who gets behind, like today, you do not expect it, but it is something that can happen and even, totally, is what they played today. So we had an idea and we had to change it on the fly. We had to attack differently, but the important thing is the attitude of the boys to take it forward.” On the other hand, he referred to the debuts of Alejandro Garnacho and Facundo Buonanotte: “The idea was that they play and add minutes. This goes beyond the game and the result.” He also commented on having left some world champions out of the list and acknowledged that “some tweaks were made of those who come from the World Cup” and that “we are open to those who come” since “it is a matter of attitude and presence”. Finally, regarding the development of the match, he said that “the National Team was always one of the greatest. Argentina has to go out and play in the same way, according to the predetermined way of the coach on duty, but we always have to attack.”
