Tagliafico was at a press conference with Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni where Scaloni spoke about the team and Lionel Messi not starting against Jordan. In the same press conference, Tagliafico spoke about the team. Here is what he had to say:

“It’s an immense pride because one doesn’t sit around counting the matches but works day by day to make them as numerous as possible. It’s nice to back a little to the past to remember the moments lives.

“We have players of high quality in midfield and sometimes that makes one serve more as support and there are also matches that demand more defending. The team’s unity makes things go well for the national team.

“Maybe I’m living this moment and don’t realize it as much but surely in the future, I’ll remember it with a lot of happiness. Sometimes one stops to appreciate and it’s very nice.

“I’m in optimal condition to play. As for the group, it’s very competitive and doesn’t let up.

“Every player that comes to the national team wants to be here, to do their best for their team mate. When you bring together players with the same mindset, it becomes difficult for the opponent. A very tough national team is formed.

“I think the team is working with the same harmony as before and let’s hope things start falling into place. We shouldn’t put pressure on ourselves.

“One thing we have clear is that we cannot relax. Every player has to work to the maximum because that internal competition makes us better.

“I think one of the team’s characteristics is that it adapts to situations. The national team understands that well and knows how to adapt to moments, emotions and that is important in such an even World Cup.

“I think today, the team is more mature, there are champions and that brings experience. But we know that we cannot let our guard down because things are defined by details.

“Our trainings are intense and that helps us not to relax and to maintain the necessary contact with the ball. Physically and mentally, that helps us a lot.”

“You always have to take precautions regarding what the opponent has. In this World Cup, it is being seen that there are teams that play in different ways and several of them are getting results.

“The great merit of everything that has been done goes to the guys who are always there and train to their maximum. I think that when there’s an opportunity, there are great players who also deserve to come in. And the idea is for the team to play in the same way.

“When playing with this shirt, it doesn’t matter the moment, the need for points or not. This means going out to play and doing it well, always trying to win. That’s why we maintain the same way and anxiety as the first day.

“The decision of who plays tomorrow has nothing to do with who will play the next match.

“If it happens, we could take advantage to test systems. Jordan tends to play with five defenders and it’s a system that means you have to move differently if you play with a back four. We have worked on it and the team wouldn’t have any issues with modifying something.”
