The craze of Bangladeshi supporters for Argentina football has now spread across the world. Players and coaches of the Argentina national team are all amazed by this passion coming out of Bangladeshi fans. During the press conference ahead of the semi-final clash against England, Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni brought up Bangladesh.
In response to a question regarding the support from Bangladesh, Scaloni said: "Thank you. The truth is, the support of the people of Bangladesh from so far away always surprises us. The way people in your country support us by wearing Argentina national team jerseys is truly amazing. I hope we can give them another joyful occasion tomorrow (the semi-final). That's why we are here. Thank you."
Earlier in this World Cup, Argentina's World Cup-winning goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez also sent his regards to Bangladeshi fans. Meanwhile, Spain has already advanced to the final by defeating France 2-0. If Argentina beat England, they will reach the final for the second consecutive time. On the other hand, Spanish coach Luis de la Fuente has already stated that he wants to face his beloved pupil Scaloni in the final.
