TThe World Cup is approaching and one of the favorites to win is the Argentina national team. Albiceleste, who has the 2022 World Cup in his trophy cabinet, wants to aim for glory, but there is a possibility that there will be conflicts with some players within the team.
The atmosphere in Argentina is not the best, with one prominent journalist recently making a “bombshell” statement that Angel Di Maria doesn’t think highly of his country’s football and will not be happy with Scaloni as coach.

Argentine journalist accuses Di Maria of sour relationship with Scaloni
Flavio Azzaro is an Argentine journalist known for disseminating controversial and potentially conflict-provoking information. The communicator explained on the program “El Tribunero” that there will be a conflict between Angel Di Maria and the national team coach Lionel Scaloni.
According to Azzaro, the reason for the clash was that Di Maria wanted to return to the national team and made this clear when he hinted at the option of returning to the world champion team.
Di Maria is at odds with Scaloni. I don’t think your comment the other day was a well-intentioned bargain. He expected to be called up due to his high level of Argentine football.
A few days ago, Di Maria was asked about a possible call-up and replied with a laugh: “Scaloni doesn’t seem to be watching much of the Argentine league,” a reaction that Azzaro says shows the player is upset.
Argentina and its friendly team prepare for the World Cup
After the Finalissima was canceled, Argentina had to act quickly to use the FIFA calendar to secure two friendlies for Scaloni’s side.
Argentina are scheduled to play two friendlies, the first against Mauritania tomorrow, March 27th, and then against Zambia on the 31st of the same month.
Beyond the controversy, Scaloni is confident in his job and wants Lionel Messi to be in the best possible shape for what will be his last special World Cup.
