The midfielder missed Wednesday’s training session, which was held behind closed doors. Technician did not like that the information jumped out to the general public
Lionel Scaloni had previously reviewed the meeting with the Netherlands, referring to the World Cup quarter-finals. The Argentine coach lamented that De Paul’s absence from Wednesday’s training had reached the general public.
“Am I angry with what came from Rodrigo de Paul? I don’t know if we were playing for Argentina or the Netherlands. The training session was behind closed doors. I don’t understand the need to raise concerns. The opponent is aware of these things,” the selector lamented at a press conference.
As for Enzo Fernandez, the Argentine player in the last two matches in Qatar, Scaloni has no doubts: the Benfica midfielder will be part of the future of the Pampas team.
“We are satisfied with Enzo’s contribution, and that’s what we expect when we change, we count on this performance. Enzo has done well and he can do more. He’s a boy with a bright future,” he explained.
