Lionel Scalonicoach of the national team of Argentina, gave an interview to ‘AFA Estudio’ before the match against Venezuela corresponding to the World Cup qualifications and, among other things, praised some Argentine soccer teams and highlighted the “philosophy” of the three Europeans.
“There is no team in itself that I stop to watch. I like the philosophy of how Bayer Leverkusen, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain play. They are the teams you follow because, sometimes, you can do things with our players to the national team,” he said.
At the same time, he said that his coaching staff continues to pay attention to Argentine football: “We see everything. We see River, Boca, Vélez doing well, Atlético Tucumán de Sava doing a good job, Huracán … They are teams that fight.”
He also recalled his match (and reunion, in Miami) with David Beckham, where he crossed paths during a match between Deportivo La Coruña and Real Madrid in 2003. “We met again. We greeted each other one, we took a picture. “It was all my fault.” That match, if you can call it a match, was because they scored a goal against us with a minute and a half left in the Bernabéu very important match. We are fighting for the first places in the League. In a Fight, you look where there is none. It didn’t come. Now, 20 years later, you realize I was wrong.”
