The coach of Argentina, Lionel Scaloniit was stated this Thursday that the match against the Venezuela “I did not reach the conditions to play today” due to the accumulation of water on the field, which hindered the flow of the match, after drawing as a visitor on the ninth day of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers “You cannot play . (… ) We did what we had to do (…), but the playing conditions were not for a spectacle of two teams of this level,” Scaloni told reporters.
Also, he said the match could be played a day later than scheduled, after heavy rain delayed the start of the match by half an hour and left the field wet. “When the game can’t be played, it can’t be played,” he said. Despite the draw, he confirmed that Argentina were “good” at a competitive level. “The team always competed. Then, logically, as we always say, you can play better or worse,” said the coach.
