Argentina head coach Lionel Scaloni has shed light on the decision to start Lionel Messi on the bench during their 3-1 group stage victory over Jordan at AT&T Stadium in Dallas. Scaloni stated that the captain was fully fit to play the entire match and could have added to his legendary statistics, but instead opted to give his teammates valuable minutes on the pitch.
The coach emphasized that Messi is not focused on personal numbers and always puts the team first. Argentina had already secured first place in their group before the match, which influenced the decision to manage the star player's workload.
