At 8 am on July 10th, Argentina will face Canada in the Copa América semi-finals. Argentina coach Scaloni attended the pre-match press conference.
Scaloni said: “I don’t think one competition is harder than another. There are some very strong teams in the European Championship semi-finals, we played against them in the World Cup and had excellent performances, but that doesn’t mean we can go to the European Championship and win the title. I would like to invite a European team to play in the Copa América so they can see what it’s like to play here. Likewise, I hope the opposite happens, South American teams can participate in the European Championship, which would be like the World Cup.”
Regarding Mbappé’s statement that “the European Championship is harder than the World Cup,” Scaloni responded: “If we put together the world champions and those who did not participate in the European Championship, those South Americans who were not there, I don’t know how many there would be in total. To be honest, Brazil has five or maybe ten. So it’s clear that Colombia is a football powerhouse, Ecuador is doing very well, Paraguay makes it difficult for every team every time they participate in the World Cup, you have to respect them.”
