Scaloni says Argentina can’t replace Messi one for one

Scaloni isn’t describing a search for a new Messi. He says there’s no way to replace him or play exactly the same way without him, though Argentina will look for alternatives and try to keep a similar style. That means adapting, not handing the whole job to one successor. ESPN describes the scale of the shift: several players will have to shoulder responsibilities concentrated in Messi over two decades. Scaloni also says younger players will get opportunities and need patience; they may not yet be at the level of Messi, Ángel Di María or Nicolás Otamendi.
