New information about the incident in Argentina’s dressing room in the final

Since Argentina's loss in the World Cup final, various rumors have spread. Rumors that Argentina lost the match intentionally have been going on since the final whistle. However, this time, Argentine journalist Renzo Pantich has opened up about this. He has given new information about the incident in the dressing room before that match.

Renzo said, "According to the information I have, nothing unusual happened. I do not believe in the theory of rigging. If you want, I will tell you the truth about what really happened inside."

Renzo said that during the warm-up before the match, three players felt tension in their bodies. Before the final discussion with the coach, the players told the doctors that they were in trouble. The coach also knew about this.

Pantich named two of them. They are Christian Romero and Lisandro Martinez. Both of them later suffered serious injuries. However, Renzo could not confirm the name of the third player. He said, "To be honest, I don't have the name." However, he said that the player was probably someone in the midfield. Because the midfield players were tired at that time.

Renzo said, "Coach Scaloni used to talk a lot with the players in the dressing room before the match started. He also listened to the players' opinions on tactics. Such incidents have happened before. Once such a conversation with Paredes went viral. It also happened with Di Paul, Messi and Dibu Martinez."

He said that several players were injured before the match. He was also under the physical pressure of playing consecutive matches. He said, "Argentina knew how Spain would play. Because they had to face them in the final as well. Scaloni had prepared for that match in advance. But it was not possible to play with the same tactics in the final. Because some players were physically tired and some were also suffering from injuries."

That is why Scaloni decided to change tactics and play defensively. In this regard, Pantić said, "So Scaloni chose the same strategy that he had used throughout the World Cup. This strategy was to take the game as far as possible by taking care of the defense. The goal was to reach the tiebreaker after 120 minutes."

There was only one goal scored against Spain in the entire World Cup. There were also fewer shots taken against them. Scaloni thought that if Argentina played aggressively or played the way they played after the first goal against England, they might have to concede four goals.

There was also disagreement within the team about this strategy. Dibu Martinez disagreed with this plan. He said, "No, I don't agree. We have to go on the attack." Another footballer also said, "We have to go on the attack, score goals. It's the World Cup final. We came here anyway. But we have the ability to attack."

Amidst this discussion and disagreement, Messi spoke in front of the door before entering the field to energize the team. Messi said, "Friends, forget everything. Stay calm. Play with the ball. We will play relaxed."

Renzo concluded by saying that the argument within the team took place just before the match strategy discussion.
