The words of Lautaro Martinez
New crowd bath for Lautaro Martinez, awarded as ‘distinguished citizen’ in his Bahía Blanca.
On the sidelines of the event he revealed what he would have done against France in the penalty shootout: “I had been chosen for the last one. How would I have shot it? Strong and in the middle, like my father used to kick.”
“Maybe it was not the World Cup I expected,” he added, “I had ankle problems and I was not playing serene. In the end it was an immense happiness, a dream for us and for all the Argentine people, who went through a dramatic period for Covid, so many families lost relatives, jobs, but this Christmas we will celebrate twice as much.”
