🎙️Scaloni: The plan is to give a chance to the lesser-known players | OneFootball

The Argentine National Team is already on African soil for the friendly match against Angola, causing a huge stir after their stopover in Spain. Ahead of the match, coach Lionel Scaloni confirmed the presence of Lionel Messi and outlined his strategy for the game: starting with experience followed by rotations to assess new talents.

Support for the Champion Core

Scaloni stated that he will field a "team of complete trust, which has played a lot together, many world champions on the field." The idea is to use the solidity of the core group to ensure control of the match before making adjustments.

El Gringo detailed the plan: "Based on how the match unfolds, the idea is to let the players we know less about play. That's what these matches are for, and because we trust, based on what we've seen in training, that they are valuable players."

The Possible Debutants

The probable starting eleven confirms Gerónimo Rulli in goal and Juan Foyth as a new addition in defense. In attack, Thiago Almada will join Messi and Lautaro Martínez. The only doubt in midfield is between Giovani Lo Celso and Nicolás Paz.

Additionally, important debuts and returns are expected from the bench. Names like Gianluca Prestianni and Kevin Mac Allister could get their first minutes with the senior team, while Valentín Barco will get some playtime in his return to the national team.
