Argentina defeated Jordan 3-1 in their final FIFA World Cup group stage match, and Lautaro gave an interview to TyC Sports afterwards.

How did the match feel?

It was tough, a test, and it also gave many players a chance to play. Most importantly, we had to approach the game with the attitude that this jersey represents and the history the Argentina national team demands. It's a test for everyone, and everyone has to always perform at their best. Today we won the match, and that's what matters most.

What impression did these young players leave on you? Many of them were making their World Cup debut.

It's very important. I'm really happy for them, and I congratulate everyone. We all put in a lot of effort to get to this World Cup, so I'm very pleased.

You've played many important matches. Do you think this team has new motivation now? The schedule is also becoming clearer. How do you feel about the upcoming matches?

Every World Cup match is very difficult, so we must approach each one seriously with the right attitude, because it will be very tough. Of course, I'm also happy because we successfully advanced. Many players got a chance to play today, which is also important.

Next up is Cape Verde, a team that might be relatively unfamiliar to many. However, they have many players with Portuguese backgrounds, somewhat like a "Portugal B team," with good technique and excellent physical condition. For them, this is also their first time participating in such a competition, so it will be a big challenge, right?

Yes, without a doubt. They will certainly play with strong expectations and fighting spirit, just like us. So it will be a great match. The venue is also familiar to us because we once won the Copa América there. Now all we need to do is rest well, recover our strength, and then start preparing for the next match.

You also need to adjust your mindset, right? Because for them, this might be the most important match of their lives. And the match is in Miami, where there are many Argentine fans, and it's a special stadium. There's also Messi; we see that he's relaxed and energetic.

Yes, without a doubt, it will be a very difficult match. As I said before, this match is very special for them. So we are happy and will face it in the best way possible.
