“There are interesting players, who have adapted very well like Ocampos who came here in the last few call-ups who we would have liked to have had before.
“Nico Dominguez is a guy who could be important. After that Palacios, who we couldn’t see too much of, we believe he can be fundamental for us.
“And Lautaro… But Lautaro isn’t a surprise. Nico Gonzalez can also be important. There are many.”
The five are Lucas Ocampos, Nico Dominguez, Exequiel Palacios, Lautaro Martinez and Nicolas Gonzalez.
