What is the greatest achievement in the Outamini march?
The 36 -year -old confirmed that the moment of crowning the 2022 World Cup in Qatar was the most important in his career, pointing to the details of the afternoon, saying: “I remember Christian Romero drinking champagne and smoking the cigar, they were unforgettable moments, winning this cup is not compared to any other title.”
His plans after the 2026 World Cup
On the possibility of returning to the Argentine league to end his career, the current Benfica player Ovika explained: “No one knows, we will see next year, de Maria is wonderfully returned, and Landro Baridis as well, and after the World Cup I will decide what I will do.” He also denied any contacts with River Plate or his former coach Marcelo Gayardo, confirming his association with an additional year contract with Benfica.
What did he say about his mother and her role in his career?
The Argentine defender did not hold himself when talking about his mother, as he stressed: “My mother sacrificed a lot and she was always waiting for me at the bus station and with her food to go to training. I used to go out of school and go directly to the practice until nine in the evening, sometimes I was refraining from asking for money from it despite the difficult circumstances. ” He added, “I will remain grateful to her forever.”
His ambition before the curtain was brought down
Outamadi stressed that his recent participation with the national team will be out of dream and ambition: “Time is going quickly, but we are Argentina, we love the competition, we always dream and fight, with humility and determination to achieve what seems difficult.”
