Located in the Buenos Aires Ecological Reserve in Puerto Madero, Paseo de la Gloria is a tourist attraction that was created in Argentina’s capital ahead of hosting the 2018 Youth Olympic Games. A former Argentina defender who played at the 2006 World Cup, Scaloni coached Argentina’s Under-20 men’s side before joining Sampaoli’s staff. It wasn’t tactical, although Scaloni would gradually fine-tune Argentina’s style of play with Messi as less of a focal point. Messi is more comfortable than he has ever been in Argentina’s blue and white, due in large part to Scaloni and the players the manager has chosen as Messi’s supporting cast.
