Scaloni brings comforting news to Argentina fans
As the Qatar World Cup enters its final stages, the teams are gearing up for the semi-final clash. Argentina-Croatia match will be played first in the semi-finals.
Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni says that it will be a tough match against Croatia. He was speaking at a press conference ahead of the match.
Tomorrow’s competition will no doubt be tough. However, we are entering the competition with victory.
Lionel Scaloni: “We lost to Arabia and we quietly went to the hotel. We won the Copa América in Brazil and there was one of the most beautiful images in the world of soccer. I do not buy that that we do not know how to win, we must banish it; we have to have a little pride” pic.twitter.com/lxfyr4xmzJ

It is a relief that Di Maria and De Paul will be available for the match. But we cannot guarantee how many minutes they will play.
Each player in the team discusses the match and the opponent. Croatia are very good opponents. This match will be very tough.
They have a handful of great players. We have a clear conviction to play against such a team,’ said Scaloni.
Despite losing their first match in the group stage, Argentina made a strong comeback. In later matches, Argentina defeated Mexico, Poland, Australia and Holland.
Meanwhile, this is the second consecutive semi-final entry for Croatia, the runner-up of the last World Cup. Croatia defeated Brazil in the penalty shootout in the quarter.

With this, Croatia is reconfirming their record as the team that has not lost in the shootout in the World Cup.
Croatia have escaped on penalties in the knockout stages of the World Cup four times. All four of these shootouts took place at the 2018 World Cup and the Qatar World Cup, where they were finalists.
