Scaloni replied to Mbappe: “What he says is not… news. The groups of L. America have ten World Cups”

Lionel Scaloni gave his own answer to Kylian Mbappe who claimed that it is more difficult for a team to win the Euro than the World Cup. The coach of world champions Argentina did not hesitate to openly express his disagreement with the French superstar.

“Everyone has the right to have their opinion. I respect what he says, but I don’t agree. The best teams from Latin America do not compete in the Euro and the best teams from Europe do not play in the Copa America. If you look, however, Latin American teams have won the World Cup ten times. I would also never dare to say that teams like Colombia, Paraguay, Chile or Ecuador are not very strong.

Just because Mbappe said something, doesn’t mean it has to become… news. Modric said the other day the other way around and I didn’t see it being an issue,” said Scaloni, who has led Argentina to win the Copa America in 2021 and the World Cup in 2022.
