Scaloni: Let Gonzalez play as a full-back because he has the ability, it has nothing to do with the opponent

October 15th: In a friendly match this morning, Argentina defeated Puerto Rico 6-0. Argentina coach Scaloni accepted an interview with the media after the game.

About newcomers adapting to the team

We know very well what it means for a new player to be selected for the national team for the first time. It is normal for everyone to feel nervous when they put on this jersey for the first time. So for the first few days, we try to make them enjoy the process.

Gonzalez plays left back

Gonzalez can play that position because he has this ability. It has nothing to do with the opponent. We originally only had Tagliafico available at that position. Acuña was not in good physical condition, so we wanted Gonzalez to give it a try.

About the performance of the newcomers

We inspected some players, but we knew in advance that these players could show their strength and would not let us down.

Game strategy, and the value of friendly matches

We control the game through precise passing while avoiding counterattacks. These friendly matches are of great value to us.

The significance of wearing the national team jersey

The responsibility of the national team players is to show the public their dedication to this jersey. Our most valuable asset is young players, and many children follow these players as role models, so the character of the players is very important. Every game you play in this jersey is important and you must give it your all.

Thank you to the fans

Thank you to all the fans who came to cheer for the national team, and also to the fans who always support us no matter where they are.
