Argentina experienced victory in Qatar, and Man Utd player Lisandro Martinez has claimed that the team was willing to “sacrifice their lives” to win the amazing World Cup.
WHAT OCCURED? The Manchester United defender discussed what it takes to represent the Albiceleste at the greatest level after Argentina won the World Cup in his first appearance in the premier competition.
Lisandro Martinez stated in a statement to TYC Sports, “Being there was a source of intense passion and pride. Despite the fact that it was my first World Cup, I began the competition with the intention of winning.
“We went from having less to having more, and people really connected with our style of play because we played excellent football, which is what makes us Argentines. When you see the shirt, the shield, and the enormous number of Argentines behind you, you must have the disposition to risk your life in order to save them all. That is the least we can do.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: After losing to Saudi Arabia in their tournament opener in a shock, Argentina went on to win the World Cup for the first time since 1986 by defeating France in a nail-biting penalty shootout.
Lisandro Martínez is an Argentine professional footballer who plays primarily as a centre-back for Premier League club Manchester United and the Argentina national team.
