In addition to confirming that the "Pulga" will start against "La Vinotinto," the coach dedicated a few emotional words: "Being able to have played with Leo is wonderful, and then being able to be at another World Cup with him and for him to have won it is very special. Tomorrow will be very nice, emotional, but I'm not sure it will be his last match in Argentina".
