The Qatar world cup will not get perfection without discussing Lionel Scaloni. After the 2018 World Cup in Russia, the way he managed to bring the weak Argentina team to where it today deserves praise. Scaloni has shown more intelligence than other coaches in technical areas.
When Lionel Messi retired after a tearful defeat in the 2016 Copa America final, Scaloni understood Messi and brought him back into the Argentina team.
Scaloni was able to convince Messi that there was a bright future ahead for the Argentine. All Argentina fans around the world trusted Lionel Scoloni.
With so much pressure, Scaloni managed to bring Argentina two important titles. This time, Qatar managed to bring the team to the final of the World Cup.
Argentina’s football board is financially weak compared to other countries’ football boards. Compared to other countries’ boards, they cannot pay the coaching staff very much. But the effort Scaloni and his coaching staff continue to put forth cannot be measured in money.
Scaloni’s biggest strategy is that he uses different techniques in every match. Do not play the team with the same strategy in all matches. This intelligence of his is very useful in big tournaments.
It does not end here. He did not play the same eleven in every match of the 2021 Copa America. A different XI has been fielded in each match. The player who played 90 minutes today had to sit on the bench and watch the game tomorrow.
He tests different formations according to the needs of the team. Sometimes 4-3-3 formation, sometimes 4-4-2 formation, sometimes 5-3-2 formation. Supporters believe that Scaloni’s talent and intelligence will come in handy in the finals of the World Cup in Qatar.
