“I wanted to know in advance, but I was talking to the airline guys on the plane and I was really interested in what they told us. It’s interesting. It’s a country that was colonized by Portugal, and that’s why they speak Portuguese.” There are many people who like Argentina, like Messi, and have supported Argentina at the World Cup. I was told it had oil in it, but I don’t know if it’s true or not.. “This is a country that wants to leave the country, and I saw at the airport that the people were happy when they saw the players, so I was filled with satisfaction.”

The match against the Argentina national team is always important and this Friday will be no different for us. We try to make sure people can enjoy it and watch the players,” he concluded.
