The excitement of being part of the Argentine national team is not only a dream for the players but also for their families. In this case, the mother of Giuliano Simeone, forward of the national team, shared on the show Sálvese quien pueda (SQP)how she experienced the news of her son's draft to represent the Albiceleste.
Yanina Latorreintroduced Carolina Baldini and it was at that moment that the conversation about Lola Latorre's approach with one of her sons arose. The host began by saying: "We were friends since we were very young, we were soccer wives together and raised little kids," alluding to the many years and moments they shared.
Baldini then added: "Your kids used to come to my house, my kids were crazy about Lola," to which Latorre added with laughter: "Lucky nothing ever happened because it would have been a mess. It was a lot. At one point we imagined it because we had two who at some point had a flirtation."
The panelists of the show insisted on revealing the name of which of the three sons they were referring to. But both mothers, in order to protect their children's privacy, put an end to the topic and continued talking about Giuliano's present.
Last Tuesday, at the Estadio Más Monumental, Argentina achieved an impressive 4-1 victory against Brazil, a match that will remain etched in the fans' memory. One of the standout players was the third son of Diego Simeone, who scored the decisive goal of the match. This milestone came at a crucial moment in his career, when he had only started once before.
The player's mother couldn't help but get emotional when recalling how she experienced the news of her son being drafted by Lionel Scaloni. "We were in Madrid, and suddenly, he says to me: 'They called me.' 'Where to?' we all asked," Baldini recounted about the moment her son surprised her with his draft. Simeone's mother nostalgically remembered how that news made her recall the years of effort, sacrifice, and hope that Giuliano had put into his dream of reaching the national team.

During her participation in the show, she was also asked about the comparison with her ex-husband, 'Cholo' Simeone, who was also part of the Argentine national team in the past. The emotion was palpable: "A son is totally different," she expressed. Despite the doubts that arose about Giuliano's draft, Baldini always kept faith in his talent. "I always said: 'I hope one day it happens to me,'" she recalled with laughter, recounting how her son received Scaloni's call while they were having mate in Madrid.
The most moving moment came when Giuliano Simeone started against Brazil and scored the goal that sealed the victory. "I didn't remember anything, I just screamed and jumped with excitement. It was like a recognition of all the sacrifice I made for him," Baldini stated,
