We’ve known each other for a long time. When I played in Argentina, I never stopped watching him. I’ll answer your question because it’s you Leo is going to start on the bench.“I would never reply to any journalist on this topic right now… but because it is coming from you, I will tell you Messi will not start,” the coach said.He added words of admiration, saying, “I respect you too much, I am so proud to see you here.”Scaloni then walked over to embrace Macaya Márquez and posed for photos with him, drawing applause from those present.Reacting to the news, #THE_SCORELINE_X posted, “This is an absolutely beautiful story from the World Cup press conference… Absolute respect for a true legend of football journalism.
