Lisandro Martínez put a Spanish journalist in his place who asked a malicious question

The Argentine National Team completed another training session ahead of the crucial match against Switzerland, corresponding to the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup. The match, which will take place in Kansas City, represents a key step for Lionel Scaloni's team, which will seek a place among the top four in the tournament.

In the press conference prior to the match, Lisandro Martínez, Cristian Romero, and Facundo Medina spoke, although it was the Manchester United defender who made the most notable statements.

Regarding the criticisms from the Egyptian national team's environment after the round of 16, where it was even suggested that the match had been "fixed," Martínez assured that the squad remains completely focused on their work and avoids paying attention to external comments.

The defender explained that the group experiences the tournament "like in a bubble" and that the priority is to engage in constant self-criticism to correct mistakes and enhance collective performance.

“That's up to you, you are the ones who generate the controversies. We are here on the field to do our best and nothing more,” he expressed.

Additionally, he emphasized that the internal analysis by the coaching staff and players is the tool they use to continue growing during the competition.

During the press conference, Martínez was asked about the recent statements made by Lamine Yamal, who had claimed that Spain and France are the two best teams in the World Cup.

The Argentine defender avoided creating controversy and responded cautiously, noting that every player has the right to express their opinion.

In that sense, he reiterated that Argentina remains focused exclusively on its own performance and on continuing to improve match after match, without getting distracted by the opinions of other tournament participants.
