I would have loved to see it live. The truth is that I don’t know much about basketball nor am I a big fan, but I think it was something different in all sports, not just basketball. It’s a great admiration… they asked me for so many photos, and having one with him would be really nice”.
His departure from the team will not be the only one for the match against Peru because Scaloni He already confirmed that there will be a rotation: “We are satisfied because now we will be able to enjoy a few days and let the kids who also deserve it play.
