Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni said he was deeply moved by the earthquake that struck Venezuela last Wednesday and caused the deaths of at least 920 people, as confirmed in recent hours.

“First of all, I want to send all my strength to the people of Venezuela. I can’t believe what we’re seeing, it’s very sad,” the coach said at the start of this Friday’s press conference, ahead of Saturday’s match against Jordan.

At the same time, speaking about the heartbreaking images coming from the South American country, where more than 3,000 people have also been reported injured, the Santa Fe native said: “They are going through a very difficult time, and we hope all countries can offer their support.”
