“He can even play in positions that seem very strange to us and do it surely with quality and talent, which abounds. It is a possibility (use it from 9) “added the Red strategist.

Furthermore, Lasarte pointed out that “If I didn’t have the conviction that we will go to the World Cup, I would not have come. We played a great game with Brazil and we didn’t win. Against Ecuador not so well and we got a point. We are optimistic. An important result would give us a confidence that we are not having, especially in the face of goal “.
