During an interview with ESPN, Mac Allister stated, “We always place a lot of emphasis on the group and the team.” We are aware that when Leo is not around, we will need to become even more powerful since we will not have that player who can come to our rescue in the event that things go into a downward spiral.

“We are aware that when Leo is present, they (the competitors) are a little more guarded, and this is a natural reaction. We also have players who are currently playing for major teams in Europe, and when they see the Argentine National Team, they are aware that it is not going to be an easy match. This is exactly what we want this match to be like. We want to give it our all in order to produce a challenging day for our competitor.
