Lionel Messi wanted him for Qatar, Scaloni ignored him and he now gives this excuse

The 2022 Qatar World Cup is just around the corner. Obviously Lionel Messi does not have the power to call and not call players who go with the Argentine National Team, however, many fans think that his opinion should matter a lot, when Lionel Scaloni decides the squad.

Ángel Correa was the main absence from the list of 26 players delivered by Lionel Scaloni, for what will be the World Cup in Qatar. Now, the champion coach of the Copa América 2021 and Finalissima 2022 broke the silence and referred to the non-call of the Atlético de Madrid striker.

A few days ago, the Albiceleste coach confirmed the squad for the World Cup, where Argentina will face Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Poland in the group stage. Ángel Correa, who is not a starter at Atleti, did not appear on the list. In his place, Scaloni preferred Joaquín Correa, attacking player for Inter Milan.

Prior to the friendly against the United Arab Emirates, Scaloni referred to the non-presence of 'Angelito', who had indicated that he would even go as a helper, as long as he was in Qatar. At a press conference, the coach said: 'It was logical that a good player would be left out of the list because we have many good players'.

Scaloni and the nine defenders that he takes to the World Cup:

Another surprise on Scaloni's list was the presence of Juan Foyth. The defender managed to recover from his injury and appeared in the final call. In this context, DT justified the presence of new defenses in the World Cup. "We have nine defenders due to some physical situations that can affect us during the World Cup."
