A few hours before playing against the Netherlands, the worst news reaches Messi
Facing the duel against the Netherlands, those led by Scaloni resumed training, with Fideo and someone else apart.
After the victory against Australia, where they deserved better luck in terms of the difference in the score, Lionel Scaloni gave his players the next day off, due to the physical effort they are making. That is why this Monday they resumed training for the duel for the semifinals against the Netherlands, which will take place next Friday from 4:00 p.m.
The practice started in the afternoon at Qatar University, taking into account the high temperatures there during midday. According to the journalist Esteban Edul, they only did regenerative work and with little physical load, trying not to generate any overload. In addition, there were two names that worked apart from the rest of the group.
