EZEIZA.- The coach of Argentina, Lionel Scaloni He anticipated that he will make changes to the Albiceleste team that will be measured on Tuesday against Brazil for the South American World Cup, after last Thursday’s defeat against Uruguay (0-2).
“I have decided on the team, but I haven’t told the players yet. (Ángel) Di María has a chance of being there, as do his colleagues. We’re going to touch (make changes), but not much. If there are changes, and there will be some, it will not be due to performance,” warned the albiceleste coach.

Regarding the situation of Brazillocated in an uncomfortable fifth place in the classification, and who has just suffered two defeats in a row, the coach considered that “it is relative to say that he has been beaten, he played a good game against Colombia until minute 76. The result is misleading. Brazil has a good level“.
“They are great teams, No matter how they come, they have to go out and win. The team’s moment is not going to change, the coach has a way of playing, which is not going to change. You never know if it’s a good time or a bad time, It’s Brazil and we know what it means“he remarked.

Regarding the significant declines in Brazil like the injured Neymar and Viniciusthe Argentine coach considered that “they have replacements. If you look at the team that they say is going to play, they are all top-level players, young, fast, with experience in important teams and surely his coach will have something prepared due to the lack of figures“.
