When needed, he added: “It (the loss to Argentina) is, of course, hard. The goal was very painful for us.”
“We played as usual, Argentina didn’t have a clear chance until then (Messi goal)… We were interested in finding space. We thought we needed to stop the midfield and then respond with quick attacks,” Martino said. “We may not have achieved what we expected” when it comes to attack. We didn’t have the finishing touch… We didn’t lose our style, but we lost consistency when it came to possession and a lot of rushing like we used to.
