Argentine men’s national football team head coach Lionel Scaloni spoke about his team’s mentality after securing the ticket to the 2026 World Cup final, and he was adamant they “don’t feel the burden of responsibility.”
The Albiceleste came back from behind to beat England 2-1 in the semifinals, reaching its second consecutive World Cup final, a result Scaloni is thrilled to share with the fans.
“I hope they can enjoy it,” he said. “Fans ought to thank these players, because this is a team that is hard to explain with words.”
The head coach said the performance against England was a “show of camaraderie, brotherhood and determination to fight ‘til the end,” one that he admits makes him emotional at times.
“When we’re against the odds, they play their best. And when that happens, and the rival hesitates, they smell blood and go all in,” he said.
