Argentina enjoys and celebrates the joy that Messi finds in the Argentine team, in contrast to the whistles he received in recent days at PSG. It is perceived that Leo happily lives every celestial and white moment. The other Lionel, Scaloni, can boast, because it was he who created this ideal context for him.
Precisely Scaloni focused on this issue: “Leo is comfortable, he’s fine. We managed to make the group assimilate who he is and feel that he is one more. What should have been normal forever began to be so a year and a half ago.

Without going too deep, Scaloni left a reflection on the moment that Messi suffers in France: “I went to see Real Madrid-PSG. PSG wasn’t playing badly, but a specific situation in that stadium can change everything. The situation does not affect him. It’s fine. Every time he comes here he shows it. Hopefully in this match he can say goodbye in the best way to Argentina and that what comes is even better”.
Messi, recovered of a flu
Later, Scaloni referred to Leo’s presence against Venezuela: “Leo is fine and trained normally. He had a flu-like illness, but has recovered and is available to play. We hope he has a good game”.
Scaloni confirmed that Franco Armani will be the goalkeeper against Venezuela and said that he has not yet defined if Angel Di María, who is coming out of a muscle injury, will be the starter. He also remarked that “it is a bit strange to have to face José Pekerman”, the former Argentine coach who led him in the U20 World Cup that he won in Malaysia in 1997 and summoned him to play in the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
Account with the now absent Dybala
In the end, the Argentine coach left a sentence about Paulo Dybala, a Juventus player and absent in this call despite the multiple casualties: “Technically we do not discuss Paulo. We need it to come in full condition. We’re not doing him a favor by summoning him if he has no rhythm. The World Cup is still missing. He is highly valued by his teammates and coaching staff. If he is not well, he gives advantages. The important thing is that he recovers and plays for his club, and then show up here”.
