Argentina has changed its face again in a decisive match in the World Cup in Qatar and that is due to Lionel Scaloni’s new scheme. In addition, the albiceleste has relied on a stellar Lionel Messi, although Julián Álvarez has also found a protagonist in the selection to be a true leader as well.
The Manchester City attacker has been fundamental in Argentina’s last two games and with his goal in today’s match against Australia, he was able to lead his team to the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Qatar 2022 .
“Happiness because I have achieved one more objective, one more step towards the objective. It was a tough game, very physical. We knew it, we had played recently and had almost no rest and we knew that. We were worried. Luckily we found the goal and controlled the game and then the second although we suffered at the end. All matches are difficult. It’s normal,” commented Julián Álvarez.
