After Argentina’s defeat 2 to 0 once morest Uruguay, the coach of the Albiceleste team, Lionel Scaloni, recognized the legitimacy of the victory of the team led by Marcelo Bielsa, in the match that was played in La Bombonera, for the fifth round of the Qualifiers South Americans.
«We were never comfortable and they deserved the victory because of how they played. Obviously it was not the day for us. That makes it complicated, in the end,” he said at a press conference.
“Everything that happened in the game we thought might happen but football has this: when the opponent is better it makes a difference,” he understood when asked regarding the reasons for the fall, which ended an unbeaten streak of 25 games in the Qualifiers.
«You learn from all defeats. Just because we are world champions, we are not going to believe that we cannot lose. It is true that we are not used to this and we don’t like it, much less when we play in front of our own people, but we are aware that this is football and we can lose,” he admitted.
Scaloni asked not to exaggerate in the analysis of the defeat, summing up: «It was lost, but you have to have balance, start with a clean slate. “This team showed great efforts to get out of difficult situations.”
«Now is the time to get up, we have to turn the page, correct and think regarding what is coming. The next game will be very different,” he assured in relation to the classic once morest Brazil, which will be played next Tuesday at the Maracaná in Rio de Janeiro, for the sixth date.
