The situation in the Argentina national team It is total uncertainty. After the success, turbulent moments began to be experienced after the latest statements of Lionel ScalonYo. And now, it turned out that the coach He intends to rethink the continuity of some players.

The Argentine journalist Esteban Edul, from ESPN and specialized in following the Albiceleste, made a publication this Saturday in which he shared a fragment of the last talk he had with Scaloni within the framework of the Copa América draw and added some more information.

“Scaloni will join Messi. The coach believes that some things and names must be changed on the team to continue competing with high standards. His lack of energy is because the decisions are not easy either in football or emotionally,” he wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

The world champion coach had already said something days ago about the talk he had with the captain and he slipped that they will get together again, although The decision of who follows and who does not passes strictly through Scaloni. Here the new information indicates that The DT would have some changes in mind in the teamalthough it is difficult to imagine that the most important footballers of the team will come out.

Although Edul did not release possible names that would leave the team, perhaps it has to do with the generational change that is coming in some areas. Angel Di Maria He has already confirmed that after the 2024 Copa América he will not continue.

As for the most veterans, in addition to Messi, there appears Nicolas Otamendi, 35 years old and with a good level in general terms, in fact he just scored the goal against Brazil at the Maracaná and against Paraguay. Franco Armani could be one of those targeted, since at 37 years old he has no place in the Albiceleste and perhaps the chance opens up for a younger goalkeeper. But they are only hypotheses since there are no defined names.

It was expected that before the Copa América draw he would meet with Tapia to settle some differences, but the coach arrived at the event on time and they could not meet, so that meeting was postponed and it is not known when it will take place.

Meanwhile, Tapia limited himself to presenting the new AFA offices in Miami and avoided talking about the coach’s continuity, the big doubt that all Argentine fans have.
