Lionel Scaloni was received as a hero in El Salvador, a country to which he traveled this past weekend to give a conference within the framework of a private event. In the midst of his scheduled activities in the capital of that country, the coach of the Argentine National Team was surprised by a group of local girls who sang the already typical song of “Boys.”

In a video that went viral on social networks, you can see how the little ones – all dressed in Argentina shirts – shine when they sing the verses that became famous during the Qatar 2022 World Cup and that accompanied the Albiceleste team during the path that ended with the consecration.
Visibly moved and with a smile that denoted his surprise, the DT born in Pujato appreciated the gesture.

Scaloni made public statements the same weekend that he gave the list of players called up for the friendlies that the Argentine National Team will play in the country in March against Panama and Curaçao, which will mark the team’s reunion with the fans of the albiceleste after the conquest of the World Cup in Qatar.
The two matches will also be the first since the AFA confirmed that the coach renewed his contract and that he will be in charge of the National Team until at least 2026.
