Scaloni: Argentina will preserve its style after Messi

Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni has shared his thoughts on how the national team will play after the departure of captain and forward Lionel Messi.

Scaloni said Argentina would seek to preserve its style of play even in Messi’s absence. Although the team’s performances may change, its main objective will be to maintain a collective approach and the football philosophy it has developed.

Messi has been a central figure in Argentina’s recent success, including the team’s 2022 FIFA World Cup triumph. The transition after a leading player’s departure generally requires adjustments in both team selection and tactics, while preserving the principles that have shaped the side’s identity.
