“Argentina Can Play Well Without Messi” – Argentina Coach Says
Lionel Scaloni, Argentina’s head coach, has suggested that while Lionel Messi remains a key figure, the team no longer depends on him to perform at their best. Messi, who has netted 112 goals in 192 appearances for the Albiceleste, has been instrumental in their recent success—leading them to a World Cup and two Copa América titles. But with the legendary forward turning 38 later this month, Scaloni is already planning for the future.
“The team has reached a point where it functions just as well with or without Leo,” Scaloni said. “Before, we had to adjust certain players when he wasn’t there, but now the system works the same way. That’s a positive sign.” Argentina’s recent performances back up his claim—they’ve secured crucial wins over Uruguay and Brazil in World Cup qualifiers even in Messi’s absence, proving their strength runs deeper than just one superstar.
Head coach of Atletico Madrid, Diego Simeone, speaks on team defense and called out a player who needs to toughen up. He shared that Ademola Lookman needs to work on defense.
“Ademola Lookman arrived with great enthusiasm and desire to keep growing. We need him to add defensive work to what he already gives us offensively, because he has that ability,” he then added.
“He’s shown it with the Nigeria national team, and we need him in that role.”
Former football legend Paul Merson states that Mohammad Salah is the greatest winger of all time.
While also praising Bukayo Saka for being the winger in form right now.
When asked in a recent interview, he stated “For the best right now, it’s probably [Bukayo] Saka for his all-around game. I will go Salah, because the numbers he’s put up are ridiculous.”
Former player Paul Merson shares his predictions on this weekend’s Premier League games.
He shared Leeds United vs Manchester City – Prediction: Leeds 1-1 Manchester City.
Manchester United vs Crystal Palace – Prediction: Manchester United 3-0 Crystal Palace.
Arsenal vs Chelsea – Prediction: Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea.
