00:00It's very pleasant in New Jersey compared to the other cities that have hosted the Copa America 2024 tournament.
00:08And I say that they have hosted because they have received a great fan, a great Argentinean fan,
00:16who has had his camp in Miami, but the day before or the day of the match they are traveling to the different cities.
00:22So they have taken, not by surprise, but they have taken the cities where they have met.
00:27Yesterday at 7 p.m. local time, the Argentinean fan made an appointment in Times Square,
00:33as they did in the Qatar 2022 World Cup, to give the famous flag.
00:37Many Argentines from Miami, many Argentines who traveled from the South Cone also of course
00:43to support the Albi Celeste squad, the current champion.
00:47We have met in the mall that is a few meters away.
00:50Many Canadians, but the reality is that if I could give them a percentage, I would say an 80-20.
00:56For the Albi Celestes, who will surely be filling the stadium today.
01:01Already before the match, comrades, there was a lot of talk that if Lionel Messi in the previous match against Ecuador,
01:06today Lionel Messi will be on the pitch.
01:08There has also been a lot of talk that there will be some changes in the midfield,
01:11we will be talking about it a little later.
01:14But there has also been a lot of talk about the level with Kakafi and Mebol,
01:17where both confederations are standing.
01:20The Copa America was a good example to see the level of both confederations.
01:25And Lionel Scaloni in a press conference, this is what he said.
01:31Regarding the physical issue of Canada,
01:34they have players who are important in that regard and who are also technically good.
01:43And with a coach who has transmitted a way of playing,
01:48quite aggressive, they press, they press well,
01:53they continually send you to play from the outside.
01:57He has interesting players and is a good team.
02:02He has made things difficult for everyone.
02:05We will try that tomorrow the match is close to us,
02:11with the game above all.
02:14Regarding the physical issue, logically it will not be possible to match them,
02:18it is a logical question.
02:20But with our weapons we hope to take the game to our side.
02:25What your colleague said, physically it is a very well-worked team.
02:30In their lines it is a compact team.
02:33As the coach said, at times with the high line.
02:39We already face it, they know us, we know them.
02:43We will look for the best way possible to hurt them.
03:14Argentina is still a favorite, right?
03:19Without a doubt, without a doubt.
03:21Leonel Scaloni and his team are looking for victory number 54.
03:24Only six defeats for Albi Celeste since Leonel Scaloni took command.
03:29And obviously the titles that we all know.
03:31Tagliafico and the players said that what the Argentinean squad is doing is not normal.
03:35They have lost very little, only six defeats, 16 draws.
03:39The reality is that they are living a dream.
03:42They are still favorites, although they have not found their best level in this cup.
03:45It is that question mark that the Argentinean squad has,
03:49from the press and also from the fans.
03:51But they have a lot of credit with the fans.
03:53And beyond how they play or not play,
03:55the important thing for them is that they win and continue to advance.
03:58They have a lot of faith that they can reach the final and get one more title.
04:01They are favorites, without a doubt, on the team of Jesse March and Canada.
04:06Now, yes, they are favorites, but suddenly Scaloni opened the umbrella
04:10and began to speak very well of CONCACAF.
04:12He said that the United States is an excellent tournament,
04:14that he only lost because of differences, that Mexico too.
04:17Does Canada have arguments, beyond an Alfonso Davis,
04:21a crepe who is playing spectacularly, to face this match?
04:27From my perspective, they have it.
04:29And Leonel Scaloni and Tagliafico already said it.
04:32It is a very physical team, it is a team that goes to the front.
04:35It is a team that knows that from a technical point of view it can cost them a little work.
04:39Competing with the world champion.
04:42They have tools and they have, above all, a very important one.
04:4514 players from this team from Canada play in the Major League Soccer.
04:49This makes them known, because some are teammates,
04:52and if they do not face each weekend, they know the characteristics very well.
04:56One of them, Shaffleburg, who has generated many expectations in this cup,
05:00but from what we see, every weekend we knew he could do this.
