“My goal is to reach Qatar (2022 World Cup). That is my objective, apart from next year’s Copa America. I want to get to Qatar because of the bad taste left in my mouth with what happened in Russia.”

A team mate of Lionel MESSI’s since the 2008 Olympic games, ROMERO said he expects MESSI to come back to the team.

ROMERO also gave his thoughts on current Argentina coach Lionel SCALONI.

“What he has done in these last matches was very important. If SCALONI is chosen to continue with the Argentina national team, ww will try to bring that intensity matches with points involved, like those of next year’s Copa America.”

Ramiro FUNES MORI scored the opening goal for Argentina in their 2-0 win against Mexico.

Lionel SCALONI’s team got the win but it wasn’t easy. Goalkeeper Agustin MARCHESIN pulled off two great saves in the opening two minutes of the match. After that, despite a few defensive mistakes, the team kept possession of the ball and created several goal scoring chances.

The first goal of the match came through a Ramiro FUNES MORI header. A free kick sent in found the head of FUNES MORI as the Villarreal man scored right before half time to give Argentina the lead.

The second goal looked destined to be Mauro ICARDI’s first for his country but an own goal by BRIZUELA stole it from ICARDI. A low cross sent in by SARAVIA was going towards ICARDI but it got to BRIZUELA who tapped it in.
