The players and coaching staff of Argentina, new world champions, make Doha La Bombonera
The dam broke and Argentina, after years of fear, was finally able to cry with happiness. La Albiceleste, champion of America in 2021 and now world champion after a tachycardiac final against France, designed by the most evil, mischievous and ambitious architects, with penalties, blows, great goals and arguably the two best players in the world, Messi and Mbappé, absolutely unleashed. After the whistle, the drama was French and Doha became La Bombonera.
One of the first to go through the microphones was Dibu Martínez, again the hero in the penalty shootout after stopping Coman’s shot and watching Tchouaméni shoot his own wide. The goalkeeper, with a broken, hoarse voice, like that of a sergeant under siege, showed the press his most emotional side. “It was a game of suffering, shit. We had to suffer to win it. We get 3 against 2, they put us in, then another two almost put us in… Even in a dream I wouldn’t have thought of winning a World Cup like this, “explained the Aston Villa goalkeeper .
Also affected was Lionel Scaloni, a legend of Deportivo de La Coruña and of course from all over Argentina, a coach who came into office through the back door and with a hefty backpack of criticism and who eventually became the third column of the football Olympus Argentinian. The ‘Scaloneta’, as modest as it is intense, looks proud from today along with billardism and menottismo.
“It’s fun, we’re used to being beaten and today the boys did it again, they got up. When my dad looks at me and my mom, which I think is, they’ve given me a way to understand life, to never give up, which is what I’ve been trying to convey to the players. All coaches want to do well and I was lucky that it went well with me,” said the coach with his son in his arms and tears on his face.
Tagliafico, who was the last-minute starting left-back after Acuña dropped out of 11th, was much more proud in his words: “I said it in the previous game, if you don’t suffer, it’s not worth it and today it was time to suffer a little more. The first half was very good and in the second half we made our mistakes, but we made it through, as we always do, on and off the pitch. And as Argentines, always as Argentines. Hopefully this win will help them see that if we are united we can do anything,” said the Lyon defender.
Enzo Fernández, one of the revelations of the World Cup (Benfica is already rubbing hands with the promising midfielder) showed himself for what he is, a 21-year-old boy who has just been declared world champion: “There is nothing greater than this , with my whole family here in the stands… I will never experience anything like this again in my life. Also to the group, who have huge eggs » Paredes, whose place Fernández stole in the eleventh, appeared next to his competitor, proud of his friend, with the Argentinian flag around him: “I think of the family, of the friends, of the people who are not there. To achieve it after chasing it for so many years… it’s incredible.” explains the Juventus midfielder.
