Diego Placente: As the tournament goes on, we’ll grow stronger | OneFootball

After a great debut against Cuba, where Argentina overcame being quickly reduced to ten men and secured a 3-1 victory, coach Diego Placente analyzed the future of the ‘Albiceleste’ in the U-20 World Cup.

“The feelings from the first match were positive, because it was a very changeable and very strange game, where we started off very well and then the sending off made things complicated for us. At first, we had planned to have a lot of possession and be much more offensive, but we ended up showing other facets like our defensive side, which is also good for training and for developing other qualities, such as character and personality. From that point of view, yesterday’s result was very positive.”

“Australia is a great team, you can tell that beyond the players they have, they are very well-drilled. They have been in Chile for many days and you can see the small details in those things. While other teams gain solidity as the tournament goes on, they already have it because of all the training. Their main strength is all the work they’ve put in; it’s going to be very difficult. Against Italy, they deserved to win and ended up losing.”

“You dream of going far but first you have to get through the group stage, which is extremely difficult. After that, we’ll improve because you learn from your mistakes. As the tournament goes on, we’ll become more solid.”
