Recruit Argentina back home to celebrate
On the afternoon of December 19, the Argentina team departed from Doha to return to Ministro Pistarini International Airport in Buenos Aires. Currently, the media has not received information about the schedule of the new world champion. But normally, this journey takes about 21 hours, due to transit in Italy to refuel.
Some unofficial sources believe that Scaloni teachers and students will be at Ezeiza International Airport in Buenos Aires between 7pm and 9pm today (equivalent to 5am to 7am on Tuesday, December 20, Hanoi time).
Coach Scaloni said he let each player choose whether to return home to celebrate or not. According to the rules of the clubs, players are allowed to rest for about one or two weeks after attending the World Cup, before joining the army with the host team.
"I just think about going back to Argentina to celebrate," Scaloni said. "Before the game, I don't want any player to talk about this possibility, because my mind is not ready for that. But the Argentine people deserve to see World Cup winners. I don't know what the celebration will be like. any more".
Argentina also celebrated the evening after the 2022 World Cup final on December 18, when they beat France on penalties. They eat fries and milanesa - the famous beef fillet in Naples, Italy.
Millions of Argentines also took to the streets to celebrate their historic third World Cup title. More than a million people crowd the Republica square in Buenos Aires, from morning to night. They waited for Lionel Messi and his teammates to return to celebrate Monday 19/12.
Scaloni is the third person in history to lead Argentina to the World Cup, after Cesar Luis Menotti and Carlos Bilardo. However, he thinks that he is "not worthy to sit on the same tray" with the two 84-year-old coaches mentioned above. Scaloni went to Qatar as the youngest coach of the tournament, at the age of 44.
26 Argentina players won the World Cup for the first time, bringing the number of players to win this title to 471, of which 159 died. Pele is the only player to win the title three times, in addition to 20 other players who have won the gold cup twice.
