Without euphemisms, nor taking the ball off the field, the first of the Argentine footballers to show his face was Lautaro Martinez. Obligated by television protocol, the Inter striker offered his impressions live and live, while the players of Saudi Arabia They couldn’t believe what they were celebrating.
“We lost the game due to our mistakes, mostly in the second half because we managed to score more than one goal in the first half,” lamented the Inter player.
“We have to rest and think about what’s to come: now there are two finals,” he remarked, anticipating how the team will live the next few days until Saturday’s match against Mexico and Wednesday against Poland, both a priori rivals – harder than Arabs.
“Without a doubt they are difficult rivals, like today’s. That’s why we came out from the beginning to try. There are details that make the difference in matches, we have things to improve,” he speculated.
“The defeat hurts a lot, because we wanted to start winning, it was a great illusion. Now we have to sit down, rest, train and think about the games that will follow,” he remarked.
The VAR disallowed Martínez’s goal for advanced position in the 27th minute of the first half: on that occasion it was technology that made the difference as the chip from the ball signaled the offside before the assistant raised the flag.
The second start was for the flag to be raised, without intervention by the VAR, but with the same result: the goal became invalid.
