Argentina is riding an emotional rollercoaster at the World Cup and coach Lionel Scaloni believes it's not doing his team any good.
Argentina's Lionel Messi, right, celebrates with his teammate Angel Di Maria after scoring his side's opening goal during the World Cup group C soccer match between Argentina and Mexico, at the Lusail Stadium in Lusail, Qatar, Saturday, Nov. 26, 2022.
Unfortunately for Scaloni, it seems as if this is one message which is unlikely to get through at this World Cup. And the players were getting carried away in the locker room after the final whistle, singing songs — one chorus says that Diego Maradona and his mother are cheering on Messi from heaven— while jumping up and down on their seats and banging their fists against the walls. Argentina goalkeeper Emi Martinez stood on a table in the middle of the room, swinging a towel above his head.“People will think I’m crazy but fine, we won, we’re celebrating, it happens,” Scaloni said.
Whether Argentina's players can get off this emotional rollercoaster ahead of the make-or-break match against Poland on Wednesday remains to be seen.
