Argentina defeated Jordan 3-1 in its last group stage match of the World Cup, and Lautaro gave an interview to TyC Sports afterward.

How did the match feel? It was tough and a test, and it also gave many players a chance to play.

Yes, the most important thing is that we must face the match with the attitude this shirt represents and what Argentine national team history demands. It's a test for everyone, and everyone must 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.

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

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

Every match at the World Cup is very difficult, so we must face each one with the right attitude, because it will be very tough, really difficult. Of course, I'm also happy because we advanced successfully. Many players got playing time today, which is also important.

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

Yes, definitely. They'll surely play with great expectations and fighting spirit, just like us. So it will be a great match. The place is also quite familiar to us, since we won the Copa América there once. Now all we need to do is rest well, recover our physical strength, and then start preparing for the next match.

You also need to manage emotions, right? Because for them, this could be the most important match of their lives. And the match is played in Miami, where there are many Argentine fans, and it's a special stadium. Plus there's Messi; we see him very relaxed and energetic.

Yes, definitely, it will be a very difficult match. As I just said, this match is very special for them. So we're pleased and will face it in the best way possible.
