Despite all the hubbub, Lionel seeks to lower all the excitement. “Life goes on, you have to keep working, people still have their jobs, my family, my friends… Everything goes on the same“, released the DT to everyone’s surprise. And he added:” I’m not thinking every day about what was achieved, not at all. You think about what is coming. The most important thing is what comes next, always. I don’t think we should rest on our laurels“.
Beyond this calm and cautious reflection by Scaloni, it completely clashes with the day-to-day life of Argentines since December 18, 2022 and arouses fascination for this position that is almost impossible for any soccer fan to assimilate.

“We, my family, are eternally grateful to Spain. And here in Palma I am fine. I chose to live here, my family is from here, my wife, my children. It is a truly different place, where you go unnoticed, the people are very calm and I also have enormous affection for the club“, confessed Scaloni painting Palma de Mallorca as the place that fits perfectly with his style and personality.
In this way, the Argentine coach remains firm in his position despite the successes and the enormous repercussion. He seeks to go unnoticed, tranquility, refuge in his family, away from the flashes of the stars, despite belonging to the small group most loved by Argentines: the world champions.
