Argentina's start at World Cup 2026 is approaching. This time, the memories of victory in World Cup 2022 come alive again. In the meantime, the series "El Methodo Scaloni" was released, through which some comic films spread on the Internet.
"It was the worst speech in the world," says Walter Samuel, recalling Kenna Scaloni's attempt to give a pep talk for the team at the 2022 final.

"Before our match, Scaloni started talking. He explained the team's style of play, mentioned each player. He said to the video, 'You have to go to the place, you have to create problems for him'. There, he spoke for two minutes and then he cried. He said, "I want to tell you..." but he couldn't cry," said Aston Villa player Dibu Martinez.
Leo Messi paralleled this, "Before he spoke, he said, 'I can't, I can't'. Pablo (Aimar) said speak. He said, 'I can't either'. But, I remember, in the end it's not good to remember if anyone said anything."
