“I think Argentina is one of the best teams around right now. We’ve just won the World Cup and the players know how to play. They’re relaxed and they know what it takes to win.
“Of course, there’s a lot of pressure to defend that title, but this group is capable. That’s the feeling I get.
“I don’t know why Argentina isn’t considered a contender; it’s as if they’re not even being taken into account. I’m sure and convinced that they’ll play in the final again. This group gives me a lot of confidence.”
