Argentina use a back three in training ahead of World Cup final

Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni used a back three during training, ahead of the Albiceleste’s World Cup final against France.

Scaloni has used a back three in the tournament, with Lisandro Martinez joining Nicolas Otamendi and Cristian Romero at the back. But usually, he has used a back four, with Otamendi and Romero starting at the back. The back three was used against the Netherlands to match the Dutch side’s formation.
