DOHA, Dec 10 — Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni believes the never-say-die attitude his team showed in their quarter-final against the Netherlands will hold them in good stead as they move forward to a last-four meeting with a similarly resilient Croatia.
Argentina recovered their composure to have the better of the scoreless additional 30 minutes before progressing comfortably in the penalty shootout. Typical of their attitude, he said, was that he had too many volunteers to take penalties in the shootout that won the game.“They continued to show that face in a complicated, very difficult match. When you think it’s all over, it’s not over. But this team has what it takes, they have the desire, the youth, the pride, and never give up on any situation.”
