Heline’s Argentine parrot; Ushiran no striker: ‘play’ is not enough consistency

The biggest contribution of Scaloni, who has no experience as a coach, is to bring back cohesion and team play in Argentina. But at a high-profile stage like the World Cup, tactical intervention is needed quickly. But clearly that didn’t happen or it was too late against the Saudis. When the opposition pushes forward on the high line, the first tactic used by coaches is to bring down a fast player and break him down. Paulo Dybala is one of the fastest forwards in the Argentina squad. However, Scaloni has not considered Dybala, Jose Mourinho’s AS Roma diamond in Italy’s Serie A.
