December 24-members of the Argentine national team are still celebrating winning the World Cup in their motherland, and Lautaro is one of them. The Inter striker was awarded the title of Outstanding Citizen by his hometown of Port Blanca.
“it’s an incredibly unique feeling, a moment when dreams come true,” Lautaro said at a news conference. There is no doubt that 36 years later, it is every child and every Argentine’s dream to bring the World Cup back to Argentina. I hope you can enjoy the moment like this and continue to enjoy it for a long time. It took us so long to bring back this trophy that every Argentine celebrates at the dinner table every day. ”
“after losing to Saudi Arabia, we have shown our tenacity and character, and it is under these circumstances that we are more closely United. We didn’t start the World Cup the way we wanted because of the way we arrived. It’s very difficult to think about losing, but it makes us stronger. Since then, we have played six finals. ”
“when Montiel took a penalty, my first thought was to collapse to the ground because you were under a lot of pressure at that time. We made great sacrifices and made so much effort that we showed our energy at that time. ”
“some interesting changes have taken place in our team. We have won three championships in a year and a half. It is very difficult to win the World Cup, we have made history and no one can take away what we have achieved. From the moment the manager gave us the opportunity to wear a national shirt, he sent a clear signal that the team is above the individual. We need to put Argentina where it should be. It’s incredible to think of us beating Brazil at Maracana, Italy at Wembley and France in Doha. All that’s left is to enjoy it. ”
