Scaloni: The World Cup final is bigger than Messi and Mbappe and we do not want penalties

On Dec 17, 2022

Lionel Scaloni, coach of the Argentina national team, confirmed that the confrontation of France and Argentina tomorrow in the final of the Qatar 2022 World Cup is a match too big to be determined by only two players such as Messi and Mbappe.

In the pre-game press conference, Scaloni said, “Mbappe is one of the most well-known players, but the French team does not depend solely on Mbappe, and the match will feature many of the best stars in the world. The path we have taken to get to this stage makes us try to enjoy it with our families. The Argentine team gave me this feeling. I think we are now at the peak of our performance and we have reached the World Cup final.

The national team wanted to be introduced to everyone, and four years ago we did this and brought in a lot of new players to come out with a very distinguished battalion that deserves to wear this shirt. When you win things are very good, but also when we weren’t that successful in 2018, our confidence wasn’t shaken, and we succeeded in winning the Copa America. Scaloni continued, “Since the first day of my training for Argentina, I talked about this on several occasions.

The Tango coach continued, “The next match is Argentina against France, it is above Messi and Mbappe, we are distinguished by a group of players and they are, Messi is providing an excellent performance, but this match is not for one player who can determine it, and I regret that a lot of fans will not be able to attend the match, stadiums have a limited capacity and I hope that the largest number of fans can attend.”
