Hervé Renard was present at the 2026 World Cup draw. |
"Argentina have a great chance to win the World Cup again. I won't repeat my famous words from 2022, because the tournament is still a long way off, but I felt that way at the time," Renard said after the 2026 World Cup draw.
In 2022, coach Renard became famous for calling Messi "he", he yelled at his students, asking them to fight to the end during halftime, creating the premise for Saudi Arabia to beat Argentina in the first round of group stage matches, creating a big earthquake in that year's tournament.
That was also the only defeat on Messi's journey to the 2022 World Cup title. After the 2026 World Cup draw, coach Renard also recalled the magical journey of Lionel Scaloni and his team in Qatar: "Sometimes, a bad start in a tournament wakes you up. And that's exactly what happened with Argentina. They played great after the opening defeat and deserve congratulations."
According to the 2026 World Cup draw, Argentina will begin their title defense against Algeria in Group J. In addition to Algeria, Argentina's opponents in the group stage include Austria and Jordan. This is a group that is considered suitable for coach Lionel Scaloni and his team to aim for the top spot.
Meanwhile, coach Renard's Saudi Arabia is in group H with Spain, Cape Verde, and Uruguay.
