Scaloni, ahead of the Jordan match: «Messi will be on the bench» | OneFootball

On the eve of tomorrow’s match against Jordan, Lionel Scaloni confirmed that Messi will not be in the starting lineup and highlighted the role of the players who usually wait for their chance on the bench.

“A big part of the credit for everything that has been achieved goes to them,” the coach said at a press conference at Dallas Stadium, referring to the players who will get minutes in the closing match of Group J. Scaloni explained that the rotation is due to the need to rest some starters while, at the same time, rewarding the work of those who help maintain the squad’s internal competitiveness.

In addition, Scaloni analyzed Jordan, an opponent that still has a chance to qualify, and said the match will be approached with the same seriousness as the previous ones, despite already having secured first place.
