Scaloni Backs Argentina’s Attack: ‘Chances Have Fallen to Others, Not Just Messi’

Scaloni Backs Argentina’s Attack: ‘Chances Have Fallen to Others, Not Just Messi’ — 1 of 3
1 / 3

Argentina head coach Lionel Scaloni has insisted his side has attacking firepower beyond Lionel Messi and dismissed fears over goal dependency. After cruising through Group J with three wins and a 3-1 victory over Jordan, Messi netted six of Argentina’s eight goals. Scaloni emphasised that other players have had scoring opportunities but that results are paramount. Scaloni cautioned that knockout matches leave no room for error. He highlighted the tight contests in this tournament and said patience, precision and top physical condition in Florida’s heat will be crucial. He welcomed goals from across the squad but urged that collective performance and wins remain the priority as Argentina chase back-to-back World Cup glory.

Do you think Argentina's other forwards can consistently step up when Messi isn't scoring?

It's hard to believe Argentina's attack has truly diversified when Messi still scored six of eight goals.

Maybe Scaloni should give more playing time to bench forwards in friendlies to build their confidence and scoring rhythm.
