José Manuel López of Palmeiras has commented on wanting to being called up to the Argentina national team.
The 24 year old was part of the Argentina national team for the two World Cup qualifying matches earlier this month against Venezuela and Ecuador. He scored two goals for Palmeiras in their 3-1 win against River in the Copa Libertadores and spoke to GeGlobo after the match. Here is what he had to say:
“Nowadays, coaches watch everything, although perhaps not so much the Argentine press.
“I’m very happy here and I think they watched a lot of Palmeiras games before calling me up. I’m doing my job to the best of my ability.
“I hope I continue to get more call-ups, it’s a dream for me. The first one was spectacular and I enjoyed every moment, just as I always dreamed I would. I’m proud to represent my country.”
