Argentina
The captain of Argentina, Gonzalo Quiroga, stated that even though he could not play after pulling a muscle, everything worked as expected.
“We got a good victory against a good team that showed a great level in their first match (against Canada), but we did what we had to do and our staff also did a great scouting job”, he said.
“This kind of match was very difficult for us. They didn’t let fall any ball, and fought for all of them. We were lack of spirit of battle, and didn’t defend and took the risks and challenges, that was the main goal and we could not achieve it”, Lopez mentioned.
For coach Fabian Muraco, Argentina, the tactical plan worked. “We did it as we expected, sometimos when you have a young team sometimes it doesn’t happen, we have come here to prepare for our World Championsip Qualification that will be in october (in the U21 category)”.
Meanwhile, Oscar Licea of Mexico remarked that this was another experience to review the state of the team nine months ahead of the U19 World Championship. “The work done by Argentina is very well noticed, very well organized, this will aslo help us because the boys have to grow up mentally and have to work harder for the World Championship ahead.”
