The podium of the Albiceleste’s carriage in Riazor left behind a fire that still burns.
There were not a few people from A Coruña who chose to support Argentina over Spain in the run-up to the World Cup. Surprise? Yes, but not as much as you think. The reason, as can happen in other corners of the planet, was not Lionel Messi, but rather another Lionel, the now albiceleste coach considered a Deportivo legend. as it reads, The love that Scaloni expresses for sportsmanship and that sportsmanship returns to him erases those geographical boundaries and will bring about a magical event this Sunday: Coruña will be Argentina for one day.
The sportsman will support the Argentinian coach in the final against France, as he has been doing since the start of the World Cup. Scaloni, for his part, has never hidden his love for Dépor. In reality, on his Twitter account, he continues to keep an image of his bicycle in Galicia on his profile.
In fact, in the middle of the year, when Deportivo played for promotion to Segunda in the final against Albacete, the ex-defender of the blue and white club specially traveled to the Riazor to be another fan. And so he portrayed it on his social networks that day: “This is Dépor, the division doesn’t matter, the feeling matters, let’s go Deportivo”.
A promise that is also a current account
After the victory against Australia, which corresponds to the round of 16 of the World Cup, Scaloni himself confirmed in the “Great Game of Cope” that one day he will be the coach of Deportivo: “I’m sure it will be. I have it very clear. It was my second home and that’s where I became a footballer. Without Dépor I wouldn’t have been 10% of what I am now. We’re going back, there I am I am convinced.”
