The fans have a right to expect me to give my all. I am grateful for all the messages sent by supporters. I am raring to go!”

The young Argentine promise, who has been called up by Lionel Scaloni in November of 2021,
is having a great season and, with Julián Álvarez, they are both key players in Marcelo
