Coach Scaloni is angry because information from closed training sessions was leaked. |
“Basically, De Paul and Di Maria are fine. Today, we will train together in public. Before, we trained completely behind closed doors and I don't know where this information came from. In fact, after every match, there are players who train separately or only train half the time compared to the rest. That's normal. We will choose the most suitable team according to the way we want to approach the match, that's the most important thing."
Afterwards, coach Lionel Scaloni publicly criticized the Argentine reporters for leaking confidential information about the team. He said bluntly: “If you tell me who leaked the information, I will tell you exactly what happened to De Paul. The training sessions were held in the most secretive way possible. I am really upset about this. I don’t understand what you want, I don’t know if you support Argentina or the Netherlands.”./.
