Scaloni, ahead of the match with Jordan: «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 from Dallas Stadium, referring to the players who will get minutes in the Group J finale. Scaloni explained that the rotation is due to the need to give some regular starters a rest while also rewarding the work of those who maintain the squad’s internal competitiveness.

Scaloni also spoke about 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.
