Sure! Here is a simpler and unique version of the blog post:
Argentina’s coach, Lionel Scaloni, talked about their captain, Lionel Messi, missing a penalty against Ecuador in Copa America 2024.
During the quarter-final game on Thursday, Messi did not score his penalty. But Argentina still won! The game ended 1-1 after 120 minutes, then Argentina won 4-2 on penalties. Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez helped a lot by saving two penalties.
After the game, Scaloni said his team believed in something good happening, even though Messi missed. They had strong faith in their goalkeeper.
“In penalties, our team really trusts our goalkeeper. This is very important for us,” Scaloni said, as reported by All About Argentina on X. “Even with Lionel missing his shot, we knew something good was going to happen.”
I hope this works for you!
