BUENOS AIRES (ARGENTINA) (ITALPRESS) – The 5-0 win over Zambia at the “Bombonera” stadium is just a step toward the World Cup. Lionel Scaloni’s reigning world champions are well and awaiting the final decision from Leo Messi, the Albiceleste captain who has not yet resolved his doubts about his participation in the World Cup. The impression is that he will be there, this is certainly Scaloni’s hope, as is the general football world. “It would be a privilege if he decided to play in the World Cup. We all want him to enjoy it and we’ll do everything to make him feel good. He wants the same thing we want, and after winning the World Cup, he’s now more relaxed, he always wants to be there, but we’ll see what he decides, and in any case, we’ll be with him. He can reach the thousand-goal mark, we’ll see how long he’ll play,” says Scaloni.
“I have Italian grandparents and great-grandparents,” says Scaloni, who played for Lazio and Atalanta in our league. “I feel sorry for Italy, it’s sad they’re not there. I played there, they’re one of the powers of world football, and we Argentines aren’t happy that the Azzurri aren’t there. It’s a sad, unfair elimination, it’s the third World Cup without them, they ended their journey playing in Bosnia against a tough rival.”
