After Argentina eliminated Cape Verde in the FIFA World Cup Round of 32, Argentina midfielder Enzo was interviewed by TyC Sports reporter Gastón Edul.

On the match:

Yes, I think the first 10 to 15 minutes of the second half were difficult for us. However, this can serve as a lesson. We know we cannot make the same mistake again, which was perhaps being a bit indecisive as we tried to get into the game.

I was just about to ask you: what kind of warnings did this match give you? For example, as you just mentioned, what cannot happen again?

All opponents are strong and will make things difficult for us. This is football, with intense physical confrontation and various factors like hot weather, so these things keep us alert.

On physical condition:

Yes, I cramped around the 75th to 80th minute. As I told your colleagues, playing for the national team always requires extra effort. It reminds me of my childhood, when I always dreamed of standing here. In those moments, my family, friends, and everyone who came to watch us and cheered us on in Argentina, gave me extra motivation, which will always be a blessing to me.

At this moment, all of Argentina is watching live. Having advanced to the Round of 16, what would you like to say to everyone?

Nothing more; please have absolute faith in us. Also, thank you for your continued support; we will not stop working hard.
