Without a doubt, They gave us all an example that you have to insist, of resilience, that in the end, when you do things in the best way and honestly, good things may take time to arrive, but they do. And they deserve it well,” said the little boss in statements to Diario Olé.
And he added: “For the boys, the best example is what they saw during November and December. Better a selection could not represent us. Argentina had a spectacular, dream World Cup, it was totally superior to the rest of the teams and that is where we have to look. We have to stay with that.”
In that vein, he continued: “Many times we throw ourselves down or believe that the good ones are in another place and it is not like that. The good ones are also here in Argentina, they are born here, they are young and even, until a very short time ago, they played in our leagueso this National Team is the best example that the boys have to try to be better day by day”.

Lastly, he referred to his coaching role: “Mainly I try to convey what I feel and believe, obviously that has to do with what I experienced as a footballer and what the coaches I had left me. I never had the intention of copying anyone, but I tried to keep things from each one and, from there, create my own idea, “he closed.
