Referring to the duel that is about to arrive, the born in Pujato told how he intends to block Kylian Mbappé, the figure of the European cast: “It’s a team effort and it’s not just about Mbappé, but about France, beyond the fact that he’s a great player. But he has teammates who fuel him and make him a better player.. He’s one of the great players, he’s still young and will continue to improve.”

“I said that I am in the place any Argentine would like to be. I am very proud and enthusiastic about the moment we are living. And they are beautiful moments to enjoy, that we are at the door of a world final, I think the best thing is the way, I’m convinced that when you’re having fun, things taste different,” he added.

Then he said that many of the players left out of the list of 26 arrived in Doha to accompany the squad: “The group is at its best, on the verge of the final. I want to underline that guys who were part of this team and who feel part of it are arriving. Nico González, Joaquín Correa, Chino Martínez Quarta, Tucu Pereyra, it fills us with pride that they want to be there because it means that something has been formed”.

“We have to enjoy these moments because it’s a match for history,” he added.
