Kazan shines. The tiny Qol Šärif mosque shines with its blue roofs which, under the effect of the sun, become turquoise and can be seen from almost every side of this millenary city where different cultures rub shoulders. The waters of the Volga and Kazanka shine, attracting the attention of tourists from outside the World Cup and Argentine fans who come in all means of transport to cheer the national team , with or without entry. The Kazan Arena shines, empty, waiting anxiously to receive in a few hours the most attractive duel of the knockout stages of this World Cup. And Jorge Sampaoli's eyes shine when he speaks of Lionel Messi .
Without having any sort of scruple, almost without worrying about all the versions that circulated in the last days on the double command ] between the footballers and him, Zurdo Casilda explained why he had consulted Messi about the game of the national team: "Leo's commitment is first inside the peloton. it allows us to see things that only a genius like him can see. Messi is a bluff, it's an indication It's hard to follow Messi. "
The coach talked about feeling the shirt that he sees in the blue-and-white captain and extends it to the rest of the team:" It's very loud what is it? 39 they feel, it shows in a cry, in a smile … it's the feeling that makes this selection is very dangerous for anyone, these players do not accept defeat. He added: " France will have a plan to neutralize Leo, but we have a plan to improve it ."
Will this plan be placed as false 9 and fed with the overflows of Cristian Pavón and Angel Di María The technician has not given any confirmations although this time he has left the door more open for the inclusion of the end of Boca instead of Gonzalo Higuain. "Cristian is one of the players trained to take responsibility at this time and this makes it one of the possibilities to be against France."
Sampaoli has repeatedly remarked from the press conference, held in a room closer to a cinema by the ascending disposition of its seats than to a press room of a field, that if Argentina does not impose its game, beyond the attitude, it has no future. "
Yet he sent a patented phrase by D iego Simeone to describe how this team will face this commitment: " Argentina will play with the knife between the teeth it will jump to rivals, but I would also like to differentiate ourselves from the game" [19659002] He was also consulted on the controversy-a plus- that was produced by a viral video that showed him talking to Messi in the middle of the match against Nigeria, as if to ask him to put Sergio Aguero or not "I I put it in Kun, "Sampaoli reads on this picture, a phrase that was misinterpreted, according to the coach. "I did not see the video, but I remember the moment and it was not like that." I told Leo what we were going to do because the team was leaving we had already worked. Sampa .
He says that he does not usually practice penalties although this time he devoted a practice foul on Friday to test the three archers with sparring finishes of twelve stages and he dismissed that the difference between the average age of his Argentina and that of France, much smaller, will play an important role: "The age will not be decisive, we have great psychic strength and we will face the game with decision And I am confident that my players will take control of the game. "He added:" I dream to see a team with a lot of pbadion, but especially with a lot of football. "
This is not in the head of the coach a bad result in Kazan. But if that were to happen, everything indicates that this would be the last thing he would do in the albiceleste bank. But he does not resign himself and that is why he left an answer that stung: " I came to the place where I wanted to come and I am happy here, as long as I 've have the opportunity to be here i will fight every day.will there be Sampa for a while? first you have to go through the blue tree called France and then you can see the forest with a little more clarity
