Di Maria's farewell to the national team and the near end of Lionel Messi's career have worried the Argentine camp quite a bit. The number one on the bench of this national team, Lionel Skaloni, said in a recent interview that it is about irreplaceable players.
" They are irreplaceable. They are not replaceable players, it is impossible. There is no possibility, both Fideo and Leo are unique players ," he said.
Scaloni has tried in recent weeks to convince Di Maria to continue with the national team at least until the 2026 World Cup, but in vain: " In the case of Fideo, we will not look for a replacement. It would be a mistake to look for a player who can do the same thing as him, does not exist.
It is true that he gave us width both on the right and on the left. He was the No. 1 player, understanding the game and getting out of the zone... and all the incredible plays that only he made. I'm not saying the team needs to be reset, but since Angel isn't there, why not change the way we play ."
The discussion about Leo Messi has thankfully been postponed, as the Inter Miami star has not yet ruled out the possibility of playing at the 2026 World Cup: it is clear that losing both in the space of a few months would seriously jeopardize the Albiceleste's competitiveness .
