Scaloni adjusts defense against Cape Verde
The return of Romero and the fight for the left side mark the preview of the round of 16 duel against Cape Verde, a rival that has already made better-planted defenses tremble.
Lionel Scaloni resolves the unknowns of the Argentine lineup for the 2026 World Cup round of 16 duel against Cape Verde, prioritizing defensive balance and offensive connection. The Argentine coach has defined two key changes compared to the previous match, seeking to strengthen the team against a team that has been the revelation of the competition. Cristian Romero, who could not participate in the debut due to knee discomfort, completed three intensive training sessions and is ready to regain his place in the central defense.
