Argentina stumbled in their third match of the qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Despite winning the first two games, Paraguay stopped them in the third. Lionel Scaloni’s team drew 1-1 at home.
Argentine coach Lionel Scaloni made a change from XI in the previous game against Bolivia in a 3-4-3 formation. Nicolás González was replaced by Nicolás González. He emerged as the defender of Argentina.
In the 20th minute of the game, Argentine defender Lucas Martínez fouled rival striker Miguel Almirón in his box D. The referee blows the penalty whistle. Another forward Romero led the team from the penalty spot.
Argentina’s appearance has changed since the penalty shoot-out, coach Scaloni said. He thinks the rest of the game is controlled by the hosts. At this moment, the Argentine coach is satisfied with the team’s offensive game.
“We didn’t play very well in the first 15 minutes,” Scaloni said at the end of the match. In my opinion, the rest of the time after the penalty we had to tell the truth. The team responded according to the situation, created opportunities like theirs, did everything that had to be done. We have won this giveaway.
Despite not winning the match, the Argentine coach was relieved to be able to do his other job, ‘We had all the time in the second half. I think we have to think about something other than winning this game. “Yes, we did not win the game, but we did other things.”
Argentina’s digested goal was a penalty, the referee did not have the help of the assistant video referee (VAR) in that foul committed by Martínez, he blew the whistle for the penalty directly. Messi scored again in the second half with the help of the VAR.
The Argentine coach also spoke of that. According to him, there should be a clear policy on when the VAR will be used and when not. Scaloni commented: “I think there should be a definitive conclusion in the VAR case. I’m not saying it’s good or bad or I’m not expressing mistrust. However, I am talking about combining your criteria.
Shortly after conceding a penalty goal, the Argentine coach had to make a change during the game in the 29th minute. Scaloni replaced Ezequiel Palacio with Giovanni Lo Celso. Later, in the 41st minute, González wrapped the ball in the net with the help of Lo Celso.
Equality returns to the party. Commenting on the change, the Argentine coach said: “We have always thought about using Nicolás González in a timely manner. We believe that he can assume this responsibility. He scored the important goal, it’s a matter of joy. He played like himself, I like him.”
However, the Argentine coach is not satisfied with the draw. His comment, “We left the field with a bitter experience. Because Argentina has done everything possible to win. In the second half we left the rival far behind. We also have to respect the attitude of the team. Those who always think of victory.
