What Lautaro Martínez said after scoring the goal that gave the Argentine National Team the victory against Chile

“I try to show, to work for the Argentine team and show the coach that I am always ready to play, prepared. “I am happy and happy, with my family who always supports me,” added the Inter forward.
And finally he expressed: “The rivals set up a line of 5 sometimes, these are game situations, it gets a little complicated. We are happy because at the end of the day we got the three points, which is what we wanted. I play for my family, for my wife, my brothers, who are the ones who suffer. They were all there. So I went to look for them.”
