Qatar 2022/ Mexico Coach: "Confronting Argentina is a 'Battle' between Two Big Teams at Lusail Stadium

Doha, November 25 (QNA) - Mexico coach Gerardo Martino said that tomorrow's match against Argentina will be a 'battle' for the ball between the two teams at Lusail Stadium in the second round of Group C of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. In the press conference, Martino added: "Mexico has to win, we will do it all for Mexico to win. There is no other answer. I know where I was born," he continued. "I can tell you the hospital I was born in, the year I was born, describe for you my hometown in Argentina - but I need to do the impossible for Mexico to win. I cannot do any other thing." When asked about how to deal with the biggest threat for Mexico in Saturday's clash, Martino could not help but praise Messi. "Those who have faced Lionel will say exactly the same thing: Whether we can stop him or not, it will all depend more on if he maybe has a bad day than on what we can do to actually stop him," he said. "However, we always need to prepare as if Messi will show his best version. We can never speculate that maybe he won't, because many times it has happened that during the 90 minutes, five (minutes) were enough for him to decide the whole game." added Martino. (QNA)
