Roberto AYALA spoke about which defender he likes and about the National Team. Here’s what he had to say:
“I like FUNES MORI a lot. Initially, I had my doubts but he matured quickly.”
“It’s a pity we couldn’t win a title the past few years, it’s not like we’re missing quality players. I don’t know what we could have been missing, maybe some luck.”

Nicolas OTAMENDI suffered an injury in Manchester City’s Champions League match against Dynamo Kyiv.
OTAMENDI had to be substituted off in the first half of the match but did comment on his injury following the match. Speaking to Manchester City’s official website, here’s what he had to say:
“It was something similar to a quadriceps paralysis, I may review that tomorrow but the knock was so deep I couldn’t keep playing and decided to leave my place to a teammate.”
“I’ll have a medical review tomorrow. I hope everything is fine and I could be called up by Argentina.”
Mateo MUSACCHIO spoke about his call-up to the Argentina National Team.
The Villarreal defender just missed out on the Copa America last year with a horrific injury which kept him sidelined for several months. The 25 year old has 3 caps to his name but all of which were friendly matches.
“For me it’s great joy and revenge, revenge for what happened to me last year.”
“It was a tough year but I’ve turned the page and feel comfortable playing again. The call up comes at a great time, it’s a good opportunity”.
“They’re important matches for what their significance. I’ve played in friendly matches but those are different. I’m going to try and enjoy myself and if I get the chance to play, I’ll try and seize it all.”
