Canada was the talk of the town on the first day of the Copa America. Canada’s coach Jesse Marsh criticized the team for Argentina’s late entry into the second half of the match. Conmable banned Scaloni in the last match of the group stage for such lateness in two consecutive matches. Conmable welcomed such a decision and expressed his happiness. Marsh, the coach of Canada who came to play against Argentina in the semi-finals. When he was asked about this in a press conference before the match. He said, ‘I was expecting this question. I said that jokingly. I didn’t expect Argentina to be penalized for coming late. I did not expect the coach to be banned. I don’t want coaches to be deprived of coaching their teams. We know that Canada and Argentina are at opposite ends of the game. Argentina has a footballer named Messi. As I said before, I find it ridiculous, but I am happy with Conmable’s decision.’

Will such actions in the first match against Canada motivate Messi differently? Marsh said, “They are the best footballers in the world.” They trust each other. They know how good they are. I don’t think they need to get excited about this incident separately.’

He also said about marking Messi separately in the semi, “We couldn’t stop Messi properly in the previous match. He played very independently on the field, went in front of the goalkeeper. We couldn’t stop him. But in this match he will understand how we defend and how to contain him, which is very important.
