Lisandro Martínez spoke to the media after Argentina’s 2-0 win against Austria about the team and Lionel Messi.
Martínez started for Argentina in their 2-0 win against Austria at the World Cup. Speaking to the media after the match, here is what he had to say:
“I think it was an excellent match. Both teams put up a fight.
“When we had to move the ball, we did it.”
About Lionel Messi:
“There are no words to talk about Leo. There’s no need to compare him because he’s alone at the top. All that’s left is to enjoy him, I feel a huge emotion to have him by my side and that he’s Argentine. We have to value him.”
This team with this style doesn’t reach even to semi final
I agree with you i don’t know why scaloni,does not use nico paz,simeone,barco?? Why parades??
An excellent match???
We won 2 -0, but it was a lazy and often bad performance by the team. Did someone count how many times we lost possession in our own half? At least dozens of times. We played so slow, it often looked like sixty years old veterans on a summer night. Was it the heat or humidity? No, it was played in airconditioned venue. We can be glad that Austria did not have to skills to pound on the countless mistakes. Against Germany, France, Netherlands or Ivory Coast we would be in a lot of trouble. Although Messi scored 2 great goals, I think he played well below his standard. Lost the ball many times and the passing was sometimes off. He looked tired after missing the penalty, but picked himself up. The play became better once Gonzalez came on. At least he wanted to go forward and not backwards like most players. Alvarez should have scored the second goal. Now we have become fully dependent on Messi. Our chances increased after the Algeria game, but after watching the Austria game, I wonder if the team can really get out of second gear for more than 2 minutes.
Jordan will probably be a walk in the park. Maybe give some playing time to others. Hope Romero injury is not too serious.
