Giovanni Lo Celso spoke in an interview with The Times and commented on his assist to Lautaro Martínez in the Copa America final, his rough time at Tottenham, and how he experienced the 2022 World Cup from home.
About his assist to “El Toro” vs. Colombia, the Argentine midfielder said the following: “I’ve watched the goal many times back but to be honest I don’t need the video. It’s engraved in my head.”
This is what the Betis player said on his time at Tottenham: “There were some very strange things. They always told me one thing in the club and then something else happened on the pitch. But whatever, I don’t want to go into detail about what happened, but the way they handled things was very strange.
“Many times, at the time of transfer decisions, the club said that they were going to count on me, that they wanted me not to leave. And then it happened anyway, the complete opposite.”
About the 2022 World Cup, the one he missed due to injury: “I will always remember the moment when Messi scored that goal against Mexico because we celebrated at home and my wife’s waters broke in that precise second.”
I am so happy that he leaves a legacy with that assist in the final. Great player who could have been more present for us if not for his injuries. One of Rosario gems….
