“Leo Messi is fine, he has been adding training sessions. We will make the decision tomorrow. If he is good, he will play.” In addition, he praised the team: The team plays in a very marked way, whoever is on the field and that is the most important thing. It was seen the other day that you can play well. We would like Messi to always be on the field for the good of football, but when he is not there we have to replace him in one way or another with a clear idea.”

Lionel Scaloni spoke well of Peru, hours before the meeting: . “Historically, the Peruvian player treats the ball well. They bring together good players with attacking characteristics and an elaborate game. They are not going through a good time, it is evident, but they have already gotten out of these situations. They have experienced players, who know each other. Under no circumstances should we think that the game has been won, far from it.”
