Lionel Scaloni's Greatest Masterstroke Wasn't Messi: Ex-India Striker Explains Argentina's World Cup Secret

“Look, if you observe Argentina’s last five matches in this World Cup, they have been snatching victories right toward the end. In almost every game—especially after the coach brings on Martinez as a substitute—the entire dynamic of their attack changes completely. Out of the last five or six matches, Martinez has come on late in about three of them. For instance, in the previous game, Alvarez scored after Martinez came on, and then Martinez scored one himself. Yesterday too, he came on in the 80th minute, which was followed by two assists from Messi—one from outside the box, and another being a header from Martinez himself,” he said.
