The debate opened this morning in Clarín.
"Was the Scaloneta the best team in history?", asks Luis Vinker in a note where he analyzes the team led by Lionel Messi in the World Cup in Qatar and compares it with different groups that achieved the maximum objective within their discipline : beginning with Menotti and Bilardo's National Teams, champions in the World Cups in
Argentina 1978
and
Mexico 1986
, until reaching the
Golden Generation
that obtained the Gold medal in the Olympic Games in Athens, leaving behind nothing less than Dream himself. Team.
Hours later, Rodrigo De Paul offered a note to TyC Sports from Madrid and completed the response that was made this morning in this same section: "We were the best National Team in history," the former Racing said unprejudiced.
"I think we ended up making, everyone forgive me, the best National Team our country had
," declared De Paul.
And then he went to the genesis of the team, pondering the work of Lionel Scaloni: "He did everything from the bases, it is a set of things that he generated in the team. He taught 19 players to put on the National Team shirt, with the help the captain and the experienced boys. But the most important thing that it generated is camaraderie, we are very good friends inside the stadium and on the field. And a very harmonious bond was generated, which is not easy when there are so many figures, but it was always something very clear, that the important thing is the National Team and we all understood what our piece was in that puzzle".

The player argued the reasons for his forceful phrase: "
I'm not saying it out of ego, far from it
. I think the National Team had better players than those of us who make it up, but
as a team we beat all the current champions there were
, by the last American champion (Brazil), the last European champion (Italy) and the last world champion (France).
In addition, he detailed all the bad streaks that the team ended up breaking from Scaloni since his arrival at the La Selección bench: "It was not easy,
we did a Qualifier without losing, we won in Bolivia after 15 years
, we won in Peru after I don't know "For a long time,
we broke the record for undefeated matches
. As a team, this National Team achieved something extremely important and also the connection with the public... People saw that we were fans that we had the chance to defend the shirt."
Finally, he clarified that he simply
spoke without the intention of creating a controversy in Argentina
.
"I don't want anyone to get mad at me because Argentina has an extremely important and rich history," said the Racing exit.
"WE WERE THE BEST SELECTION OF THEM ALL"

The joke of the squad with Messi about the "Anda pa' allá bobo".
The world championship gave away unforgettable moments for all Argentines and also some situations that went viral on social networks, which also do not escape being seen by the players themselves.
The world champion midfielder referred to them making an allusion to how they use them:
"We are half boludones, we command each other, we laugh
. "
Even one of the most outstanding moments was the unforgettable "Anda pa'allá bobo" that Messi commented after the heart-stopping victory against the Netherlands in the quarterfinals.
Therefore, when the Atlético de Madrid player recalled that moment, it was impossible for him not to remember the times they sent a
WhatsApp sticker with the image of the Argentine star saying the phrase
.
Likewise, this type of fun does not have much support from the captain since he does not like them too much
"We don't spend it so much because we know that he doesn't like to see himself like that, but obviously we told him, that there are stickers that we send to the WhatsApp group
," confessed the one who left Racing.
And he added: "But the subject was not talked about as much. With the 'Anda pa' alla bobo' we didn't screw it up much."
"WE PICANTED MESSI WITH WHAT VAN GAAL SAID"
Rodri De Paul detailed how the preview of the match with the Netherlands was lived indoors and the captain's subsequent reaction with "Go there, fool."
