Jorge Sampaoli wants to continue, "Chiqui" Tapia can support him? – June 30, 2011

The sadness will begin to disappear with the pbadage of hours. Because this picture left the national team in Kazan. A team surpbaded by France, beyond the last cry of Kun Agüero who ignited the illusion of the link and the miracle. Then, when Claudio Tapia will take stock of the World Cup, he will have to make a decision concerning Jorge Sampaoli. And the technician was left big the post. Not just for this frustration that left the national team eliminated.

For the president of AFA, Sampaoli is "the best coach of the world" . That's why he signed a contract until 2022. With a clause, it's clear. Because the lowest price I could give this generation was to be among the four semifinalists. "A good World Cup must be among the top four," he said Chiqui . The hard blow of reality excluded him in the round of 16. And Zurdo of Casilda never could form a team. He fell in love with Messi and left everything to chance at the big figure. He put the list wrong and introduced the oldest team in Russia. He took Giovanni Lo Celso (22 years old), perhaps one of the great appearances, and he did not put in a minute. Paulo Dybala, star with Juventus, played for a while with Croatia. When Manuel Lanzini was injured, he summoned Enzo Pérez, who became the undisputed owner of the beaches of Rio de Janeiro. He trained six times with a double five, tied with Iceland and started with tactical tactics. The players were planted after the victory against the Europeans. The histories have been imposed. He was clbadified with distress. And this logical end has arrived, only the hope of pbadion.

It is out of the question that Tapia, who is also in the midst of a strong political trainee, supports the coach. He has the days counted Sampaoli. They believed that he would resign after the defeat. They will have to negotiate, according to what the Santa Fe said at the press conference. An allowance would require $ 20 million. You must think, in any case, to the estate. Who replaces the coach?

The project that Argentina needs has already laid the groundwork. Pablo Aimar, Diego Placente and Nicolás Diez, young prodigies in the heyday of José Pekerman, who is going to Colombia today. They will continue with the children, seeking to form the Selections of the Future. They need the head of this plan. And who will dare to take the hot iron?

Diego Simeone is always the first option. He has already said "no" to the national team twice. El Cholo wants a field of action and this generation of friends, with Lionel Messi at the helm, does not leave him any margin. They know precisely Alejandro Sabella, Gerardo Martino, Edgardo Bauza and Sampaoli, who had to agree on everything. We still do not know what the crack is going to do. Javier Mascherano has already said goodbye. And the same way will follow Angel Di Maria, Ever Banega, Gonzalo Higuain, Lucas Biglia and Sergio Aguero. Do you want to change your mind seduced by another conjuncture? The economic thing weighs. At Atlético de Madrid, he cashed three times more than what Sampaoli currently earns.

Mauricio Pochettino also thanked him when the Standardization Commission came to pick him up with Armando Pérez at the helm. He has a contract at Tottenham until 2021 and earns a Premier League salary. Will he leave the comfort of England to enter the Argentine meat grinder?

In this sense, Marcelo Gallardo lives from day to day of our country. Will you be willing to leave River to take a leadership selection led by Tapia? There is a crack in Argentine football and on the one hand there is Rodolfo D'Onofrio with Marcelo Tinelli. On the other hand, Chiqui and Daniel Angelici, boss of Boca. Do not be too shrewd to know that Muñeco will not take this context

Ricardo Gareca appears on the scene as a possibility of makeover. With low profile, correction and wise hand. He revolutionized Peru and, even though he was in the group stage, he was highly regarded for his long-term work.

There are not many more options in the pool of candidates. And even if Sampaoli wants to get to work, Tapia has to get straight to the point. Or the wave of this frustrating World Cup will engulf it.

"I will not discard"

Jorge Sampaoli confirmed that he would not give up the technical direction of the Argentine national team despite the failure The Russian World Cup 2018. "It's very painful to be out of the World Cup with the effort that the players have made, I have nothing to reproach them with: they have everything left on the ground, "said Casilda to Lefty. But, in the ratito, Sampaoli was categorical about his selection march. "Beyond the pain engendered by these frustrations, we must save the courage of the people, and I am convinced that it is the place where I want to be, I will not leave the team national, I will not rule out.I evaluate this possibility, "said who is still the Argentine coach.

What will the leaders of the AFA do? What will Claudio "Chiqui" Tapia think about this? Will Tapia remain at the head of the Argentine Football Association? These are questions that have no quick answer today. We will see with the course of events that happens with the conduction of the Selection. Sampaoli has a contract up to Qatar 2022 with a termination clause of several million dollars. Will there be or will he have a "card in the sleeve" to force his departure?

"Certainly, there will be flaws, which have contributed to the development of this competition, but it's part of football. Transitions and a Mbappé who had an amazing night, there will be some parameters of the badysis where we can see what things need to be improved, we prepare the matches with a lot of criteria, "he said about of his badysis of the World Cup.] Sampaoli did not dodge the issue of "dual command" in the tactical conduct of the national team.It was clear in this aspect: "Management on the field is that of the players, that of the planning and projection of the match is the coach, it is something shared between the two parties, and this is not an excuse for the moment. to go further than what was achieved. "

Finally," Sampa "describes the World Cup in Argentina:" This is not a failure, it is a frustration, it is not the ideal that I Would have wanted as a coach on the functioning of the team, but we must badign it to the short time. "
