Correa, 31, had been a reliable option for Scaloni's attack for several years. Despite his contributions, the coach opted for other players for the 26-man squad heading to the United States. Di Marzo concluded her message with a hopeful outlook, stating, "Life offers second chances, and sooner or later you will have yours. The result doesn't matter; what matters is not giving up because not trying would have been failure. I love you, through the good, the not-so-good, and the bad."
