What did Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni say after the loss to Saudi Arabia in the 2022 FIFA World Cup?
Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni reacted to his team's loss against Saudi Arabia. Scaloni revealed that he and the players are very disappointed with the result. He said (via beIN Sports):
"There is nothing we can do. If we had won, we would also be waking up tomorrow thinking about the game tomorrow against Mexico and thinking about different aspects we can improve. This doesn't change our analysis. I've not spoken to them yet, because they are in pain, to be honest. They are thinking about how we can turn things around. It's all about winning the next games, and that's what we are trying to do."
Scaloni further added that La Albiceleste didn't underestimate Saudi Arabia and that wasn't the reason behind the loss. He said:
"No, we fully respect Saudi Arabia. That wasn't the reason behind this defeat, Quite on the contrary, they are a good team, they have technical players, they are very well prepared physically."
Scaloni led the team to Copa America glory in 2021. While his men came into the tournament as the favorites, they have to get points on the board in the next game to stay in the competition.
