Argentina defeated Jordan 3-1 in its final group match of the FIFA World Cup, and Lautaro gave an interview with TyC Sports after the game.

How did the match feel? It was tough, a test, and it also gave many players valuable playing time.

Yes, most importantly, we need to approach the match with the attitude that this shirt and the history of the Argentine national team demands. It's a test for everyone, and everyone must always give their best. Today we won the match, and that's what matters.

What impression did these young players make on you? Many of them are playing for the first time on a stage like the FIFA World Cup.

That's very important. I'm really happy for them, and I want to congratulate everyone. Each of us worked very hard to get to this FIFA World Cup, so I'm very pleased.

You have many important matches behind you; do you feel this team now has a new motivation? The schedule is also becoming clearer; how do you see the upcoming matches?

Every match at the FIFA World Cup is very difficult, so we need to approach each one with the right attitude, because it will be very tough, really challenging. Of course, I'm also glad we progressed smoothly. Many players got playing time today, and that's also important.

Next you face Cape Verde, a team that may be relatively unknown to many. However, they have many players with Portuguese heritage—essentially a "Portugal B team"—with good technical skills and physical fitness. For them, this is also their first time participating in such a competition; that must be a huge challenge, right?

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

You also have to manage your emotions, right? Because for them this could be the most important match of their lives. And the match takes place in Miami, where there are many Argentine fans, and it's a special stadium. And then there's Messi; we can see he's relaxed and energized.

Yes, without a doubt, it will be a very tough match. As I just said, this match is very special for them. So we're confident and will approach it the best way we can.
