In the middle of a tremendously competitive match, Argentina managed to defeat Egypt in the final minutes. After the victory, Lionel Scaloni and his assistant coach jumped with joy, praising the group of players. Although Argentina arrived as clear favorites, they struggled to defeat Egypt. After conceding two goals, they looked completely lost on the pitch. Nevertheless, they managed to come from behind by making important tactical adjustments. In heroic fashion, Enzo Fernández scored the winning goal after a pinpoint pass from Lautaro Martínez. After the victory, head coach Lionel Scaloni broke down in tears, praising his roster.
“What a group of players! That’s it, I have to go,” Scaloni revealed while in tears after Argentina’s victory. Adding after the match, assistant coach Ramón Ayala said: “My soul is coming back into my body. We have to thank the boys. They never get tired, they always give more, they are capable of doing these things. They were hurting, but they knew. We have to leave with our heads held high. An incredible group.”
Unlike previous editions, Argentina have achieved something very important: They know how to control the game, but they also know how to suffer. In closely contested matches, they know how to endure and come from behind. It is not only a result of the players’ individual talent, but also of Scaloni. By making hard work a requirement, he has managed to get every player to give 100%, something that makes the difference in the key moments.
