Argentina, Lautaro Martinez under indictment: Scaloni’s defense

Inter Milan striker has so far failed to convince in Qatar

Argentina has advanced to the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Qatar, but not because of Lautaro Martinez, who has so far failed to convince fans in Qatar and has ended up in the crosshairs of critics for several wasted chances in recent matches.

Coach Scaloni wanted to compact the group and defended his player to the hilt: “Lautaro has helped us many times so I would not like to go into details. It would be unfair to Lautaro. He will continue to help us and make us happy.” Toro was undermined in the starting eleven by Alvarez: “We feel at home here. In all the stadiums we played in, most of the people were from Argentina. We feel their warmth and how they sing for the whole 90 minutes,” said the City striker.
