The Argentine team is enjoying a fantastic moment after winning the 2021 Copa América, the 2022 World Cup, being the leader of the FIFA ranking and leading the Qualifiers, in contrast to a gloomy present for the Brazil team that is seeking to reconfigure itself in the midst of several disappointments in recent times. In this context, Paulo Silas highlighted the Albiceleste team and explained that in his country a job like that of Lionel Scaloni is necessary.

The former San Lorenzo scorer spoke with ESPN this week and his voice did not tremble when he pointed out that today the Albiceleste is above the Canarinha: “We have to imitate, we are suffering in Brazil, I think we are going to suffer because of the next 3 World Cups.” In this sense, he maintained that the work of the Argentine coach was crucial to accumulating several trophies in recent years: “If things go well, you don't remove Di María from a team like he did, and then put him back and make goals in the finals. He put De Paul on the side to protect Messi, to protect the right back, there is a lot of study behind that.”

In this sense, he did not spare his praise for the captain who today plays for Inter Miami: “What are we going to talk about about Messi, he is out of class, he is the best player of the last 40 or 50 years,” and added: “Lionel is going to play one more (one World Cup) and we are afraid here in Brazil, that is the reality, but they prepared for that, we have to prepare.”

 

 

On the other hand, he highlighted the young squad that Argentina has, which is once again a candidate to win the 2024 Copa América in the United States: “The only greats are Messi, Otamendi and Di María, the others are all boys. Julián, Enzo Fernández, Mac Allister are all greats, the team is leading (in the Qualifiers). “That shows a reality.”

Silas won the 1989 Copa América and the 1985 Youth World Cup with Brazil, while he played in the 1986 and 1990 World Cups. Now, he is very critical of the work that has been done in the team he loves, but he anticipated that he dropped no points in Seen, a possible solution is the hiring of a foreign coach, as is being considered: “It is a lie the size of the world, Ancelotti is not going to lead Brazil.”

The Italian has a contract with Real Madrid until June of next year and since Tite's departure, in December 2022, versions have been established that he will arrive in South America to coach Brazil. Meanwhile, Fernando Diniz has taken charge of the team while leading the reins of Fluminense, the new champion of the Copa Libertadores.
