Argentina defeated Jordan 3-1 in their final FIFA World Cup group stage match, and Nico Paz spoke to TyC Sports after the game.

You made your FIFA World Cup debut as a starter. Your father also participated in the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France. What did you talk about with him before the match? Did he share his experience from back then? After all, playing for a club and playing for your country are quite different.

Yes, it's truly incredible. It's an honor for me to follow in his footsteps. He's always supported me and given me plenty of advice throughout my development. Before the match, he told me to stay calm and enjoy the moment because it's a very special, unique experience. He also said that many people wish they could be in my position. So I cherish all of this very much.

Did you truly enjoy it? Or was it sometimes difficult to fully immerse yourself due to pressure and nervousness?

I really did enjoy it, very much so. Before the match started, I was a little nervous, but everything went smoothly once I got on the field. We played well as a team, and I gradually relaxed and played to my strengths, so I'm very happy.

Your club has helped you develop a lot, and your hard work has brought you to the national team stage, with all of Europe watching your performance. There have also been recent reports that you're likely to stay there. Do you pay attention to these things? Or are you only focused on the FIFA World Cup now? After all, this also concerns your future.

Yes, but I try to put those things aside for now. I'm with the national team at the moment, and this is a very important period for me. So I try not to think about those things until after the FIFA World Cup, when I go back.
