“You think I have a problem with him? He’s a phenomenon. What happened is we didn’t train (with him) during the week and he knows that,” Scaloni.

“He’s a great one. Let’s not make a stupid case because there isn’t one and what we need is for Argentina to push forward,” the coach continued.

Meanwhile, in the match against Colombia, Scaloni gave the opportunity for Mauro Icardi to perform. Despite the goalless situation, the Inter Milan striker got the appreciation from the coach.

“We are very happy with Mauro. He did pressure very well and had a couple of interesting moments. He made an important effort to be here and that is priceless,” Scaloni insisted.
