Inside Lionel Scaloni's tactical masterclass: How Argentina's relentless press suffocated England

Argentina's 2-1 win over England featured Lionel Scaloni's tactical adjustments, including a higher defensive line and relentless pressing after losing possession.

England led through Anthony Gordon in the first half, but Scaloni's changes shifted momentum, forcing England into hurried clearances and defensive mistakes.

Lionel Messi drifted to the right flank to receive possession in wider areas, where England could not crowd him out effectively.

Thomas Tuchel switched to a back five and surrendered midfield control, while his players dropped deeper under Argentina's pressure.

Enzo Fernández equalized and Lautaro Martínez scored a stoppage-time winner, with Messi providing two assists.
