Praise for the Palmeiras forward

In a press conference before the match, Argentina’s coach Lionel Scaloni spoke to the media and praised Flaco López.

– Flaco, well, I wouldn’t say he surprised us, because we’ve been following him for some time, but it’s true that he has progressed significantly in recent months. He really believes in what he is, which is a very good player, and he can still give even more. So we’re happy with his contribution, and above all because he’s a great kid. And tomorrow, if all goes well, he’ll have the chance to play and enjoy himself playing for his national team. – he said
