Early Thursday morning, the Argentine radio station Cadena3 screamed “La Scaloneta”, as an extension of the workforce coach Lionel Scaloni. Thursday’s rave particularly is about Argentina’s second objective, completed marvellously by Julian Alvarez.
The objective had 27 consecutive passes from Argentina earlier than ending up within the web: An Argentine document on the earth cup. In 2006 World Cup, Esteban Cambiasso scored for them in opposition to Serbia after 26 passes, it’s been reported. Some say 25, some 26 however nobody is disputing the touches within the objective in opposition to Poland.
But what’s La Scaloneta?
Argentine workforce has historically been referred to as the “Albiceleste [White (alba) and Blue] for his or her jerseys.
After a 3-0 quarter-final win over Ecuador at Copa America in 2021, a meme went viral on social media. It had Scaloni driving a van, with Messi at his facet, and the remainder of the workforce behind them. The van was adorned within the colors of Argentina’s package, and on high of the bus was written, “La Scaloneta”.
A journalist Rodolfo ‘Gringo’ Cingolani has claimed to be the originator of the nickname and on a TyC Sports present final November, he introduced it up with the coach himself. Scaloni would reply: “Thank you if it was you who came up with the nickname. The only thing is that it makes me swell up so much that at times it even makes me nervous!”
Has Scaloni mentioned the rest about it publicly?
This March, he had his say once more on that identify. “It makes me uncomfortable when they talk about the Scaloneta. I’m very grateful for the love and affection they have for the national team.

What was the response when Scaloni took over as a coach and Did Maradona take a jibe?
Since he was younger, and didn’t have a lot teaching expertise, there have been certainly some questions. Maradona questioned the decision: “Are they mad?”.
How did Scaloni deal with Messi?
He first informed Messi to hitch the workforce after some time as he wished to construct the workforce’s strengths within the absence of Messi.
“He joined after six games. We did a video call with him and Aimar when we took over , explaining our plans, telling him the doors were open. We said: ‘We know maybe it’s better for you not to come yet.’ He was happy, especially because of Pablo, who’s his idol. He said: ‘When you want me, I’ll be there.’ We needed the group to be strong first. It’s not the same for a young lad to come and suddenly be sent to train with Leo. It’s difficult to explain what he generates in a group, just being there,” Scaloni informed The Guardian.
“I’ve played against the best, but like that, no. What he generates in teammates and opponents is beyond the normal. And kids are more open now. At 18, I got called up .. Now kids approach more easily. Leo approaches them too. There’s a legacy: his words stay with them. He’s the most down to earth of all… It was natural. Form the group, then he came. It worked.”
