"It's true that the match was not good, that's the reality. But we drew a lot of conclusions. There are no easy opponents. Everything is useful preparation for what is coming."
"Concern in itself, no. There are things to correct, as always, and it is better that they happen now, to test us, so we see things."
"We didn't play a good game, that's pretty clear to me. This team can play much better, it's obvious. Individually, I am not going to go through the players one by one, but everyone played their part."
Lionel Scaloni expressed no long-term concerns about Argentina's team following a 2-1 victory over Mauritania. Despite a strong start with goals from Enzo Fernandez and Nico Paz, Argentina faced pressure in the second half, culminating in a late goal from Mauritania. Scaloni made eight substitutions and gave debuts to two players, emphasizing the importance of learning from the match. He acknowledged the team's poor performance but believes it is better to identify issues now rather than during the World Cup, stating that preparation is crucial.
