TIL Desk Sports/ Argentina are capable of troubling Brazil when the teams meet in the Copa America semi-finals on July 2, according to Albiceleste head coach Lionel Scaloni. Argentina set up a clash against the hosts at the Mineirao in Belo Horizonte by beating Venezuela 2-0 at the Maracana stadium on Friday.
“We’ll be up against a strong rival but we believe that we have a plus,” “We are going to stick to our game plan and I think that by doing that we can give them some difficulties. It’s going to be a great match and we’ll be going out to win.”
Argentina took an early lead against the Vinotinto thanks to a superb Lautaro Martinez backheel flick and Giovani Lo Celso made it 2-0 from close range 16 minutes from time. Scaloni identified Brazil forward Everton as a player that Argentina need to contain to have any chance of advancing to the final at the Maracana on July 7.
