Lionel Scaloni spoke about the chat with Leandro Paredes in the match against Switzerland: The translation is strange

Lionel Scaloni, the head coach of the Argentine national team, addressed comments made during a halftime break in the quarterfinal match against Switzerland at the 2026 World Cup. During this pause, he had a conversation with midfielder Leandro Paredes regarding tactical adjustments needed for the second half. A user later posted a video online with added voiceover and subtitles based on lip-reading, suggesting that Paredes told Scaloni he was struggling to mark two opponents simultaneously, prompting Scaloni to bring on Nicolás Otamendi. However, Scaloni clarified that the interpretation of their dialogue was 'strange' and inaccurate, emphasizing that such discussions with players are beneficial for the team. He explained that these conversations allow the coaching staff to understand the players' feelings during the game and that they occur regularly, both on the field and in the locker room.
