After the World Cup won this Sunday, Lionel Scaloni sits at a table that only has two members: César Luis Menotti and Carlos Salvador Bilardo. At a press conference in Pujato, the champion DT with the Argentine national team He made a comparison with an old anecdote from the Doctor in Mexico 1986 by revealing the first thing he thought when the penalty shootout ended.
In one of the many stories that his career had, Billiards He always recounted the anger that the two goals from Germany had caused him in the 1986 Mexico final. When recounting his first feelings after Gonzalo Montiel’s penalty, Leónidas de Pujato left a very similar phrase: “When I stop there, the first thing “What comes to my mind is that we shouldn’t have suffered so much in the final, which ended up being incredible. To have gone to the last moment, to the last penalty… In the end it happened, but it should have happened sooner” he expressed.
Later, staircases made direct mention of the world champion coach with Argentina and shared the regret of not having been totally forceful against France: “I think it was Bilardo, in ’86, who was also worried about the two goals and they had come out world champions. One is not exempt from that, to think that We should have closed it earlier.”
“Or why the game was complicated. We would have liked to finish in 90 minutes,” acknowledged the DT, who received all the support and affection from his hometown this Wednesday. In addition, he added: “I think we deserved it.”
By last, staircases He pointed out: “Unfortunately it was not like that, but hey, this time football was fair. There are times when justice is not on your side, this time we were lucky that it was.”
