Alexis MacAllister: "We are with a very big illusion"

Alexis Mac Allister, midfielder for the Argentine national team, acknowledged this Thursday that the “illusion” of the squad is “very great” ahead of the match against the Netherlands for the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Qatar 2022.

“We come with great enthusiasm. We know that Argentina is strong in the world and the illusion of aiming for the greatest is always there.. But you have to be careful because there are good teams,” Mac Allister said at a press conference he gave at the Doha Media Center.

The Brighton footballer, from England, got into the starting team in the match against Mexico, did not leave again and became a key piece of the midfield. “If you asked me before the World Cup, I would have signed it”admitted the flyer that emerged in Argentinos Juniors about his surprising present.

“I’ve been feeling good and I’m happy to do it in a World Cup. I am a player who will never go over three or four players but I like to find the spaces, play a simple game and run the ball“, he explained.

With less than a dozen matches in the national team, Mac Allister quickly adapted to the team but believes that the “merit” was from Lionel Scaloni’s coaching staff. “They trusted me and when you have confidence it makes it easier. Everything I’m living is wonderful“, he admitted.

Mac Allister is shaping up to play again from the start against the Netherlands and although the presence of Rodrigo De Paul is in doubt, he considered that the “idea of ​​the game” will not change. “We know how important Rodrigo is, both inside and outside. The decision will be up to the coach, but we have players with similar characteristics. If it’s not Rodrigo, it will be someone else and each one will try to do their best,” stressed the first man from Pampas to play in a World Cup with the “Albiceleste” shirt.
