“There’s a part (of his change) that I don’t associate so much with the World Cup, I don’t know if it happened after the America’s Cup, which it has to do with leadership not only football what he has on the field and what we saw in full at the World Cup”, he began, highlighting the changes he saw in the player, whom he also coached with Barcelona and the Albiceleste team.
