The elimination in the last 16 of the World Cup will not lose the candidacy of Jorge Sampaoli to Argentina.

In his post since June of last year and with four other years of warned contract after the defeat of 4 to 3 against France in Kazan who will not "back down". This does not mean, however, that the Argentine Football Association agrees with him …

Mascherano cries and says goodbye: "It's time to say goodbye" [19659004] – It is very painful to stay out of the World Cup World The players made a lot of effort, left everything and could not realize what we came for. Despite the pain and frustration, I'm where I've always wanted to be and I'm not going to back down, "said the 58-year-old.

Throughout the 15 games at the helm, Sampaoli has Did not find the starting team There were 15 different formations, with variations of players and mainly tactical schemes Deschamps tells how he stopped Messi

– The need was stronger that the proposal

– The need was stronger than the sport proposal There was an obligation to win, which generated more attention than to develop an idea. about the best player in the world and we had to generate collective situations that allowed the best use of this player.We are looking for ways to surround him, to have a strong team, several things to enjoy this virtue that no other team has for certain moment s we can, for others we can not.

The forces of France were already known
It is very easy to badyze football with a microphone or a paper. Players move, there are different moments in the mood of a game, there are times when you master the ball, but you can not make the best decisions. Today, we find factors we had talked about before and they arrived anyway, but we can not take the merits of a player like Mbappé, for example. Me and the players are talking about everything that could happen, but that's football.

Short time of work
This French team comes from a two-world process with Deschamps and has a great advantage in this regard. We had a difficult heat. We had to qualify and we ranked against Ecuador. Then the Cup was very close. This is not an excuse, we do not throw the blame on time. We imagined that time would be enough, that Argentina would go much further than it had happened.
We put Maxi in Pavón's place because Mascherano and Banega were too lonely to score, despite the unfavorable outcome.

Why did Meza come in and not Dybala or Higuain? I put a player who could help the midfielder and have appearances like the one he had at the end, where we could have equalized.
