BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni said his players need to maintain their high competitive level after beating France on penalties to win the country's third World Cup in Qatar last year.
Ahead of Thursday's friendly against Panama, Scaloni spoke about the squad that will feature captain Lionel Messi and the rest of the players who were crowned champions on Dec. 18.
"The message is that a new process is beginning: the pitch is what rules; from there on those who are world champions have no advantage, we will have to keep working," he said. Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho and Sevilla forward Alejandro 'Papu' Gomez, who was unable to travel to Argentina on the instructions of the Spanish club, are the two notable absentees from the squad due to injury.
