In a South American World Cup qualifier match, Alvarez contributed with a goal and an assist, while McAllister and Dybala each scored once, leading Argentina to a 3-0 victory over Chile. After the game, Argentina’s head coach, Scaloni, spoke to the media.
Scaloni said, “Lautaro and Alvarez work well together and understand each other. It’s difficult to choose between them. Both played a perfect game.”
“If the qualifiers go smoothly, young players may start getting playing time, but we will do so at the right time.”
“This team has shown their desire to be together. Our limit will be reached on the day we don’t perform as well. From then on, we need to get back up. We won’t always win, and we must prepare for future challenges.”
“It’s wonderful to be able to celebrate with the fans. I just spoke with Di Maria and said goodbye to him. He is a legend who deserves all the accolades.”
“I would love to play in other parts of the country, but I can’t decide, and it doesn’t depend on me. We will try to make it happen. If it were up to me, I would prefer to play at home. I really hope that matches could be held in Rosario or Santa Fe because my family is only 30 kilometers away from there.”
“Now we are going to play in a very hot place, and the match time isn’t ideal either, but that’s their decision. The opponent is very strong, and we will strive for a good result.”
