The goalkeeper position's one of the most complicated in football: he only plays one and except in a few cases, the holder doesn't lose his place for nothing. And Argentina has a goalkeeper who for several years has been at a very high level, but doesn't value him. This's Agustín Marchesín, Porto figure who also shone in Mexico, who after being vital for his team's qualification to the Champions League quarterfinals after eliminating Juevtnus, made it clear that he feels more loved by the Mexicans than the Argentines. 

"I don't like to underestimate people, I try to work for myself and always give my best. Someone watches the news out there and having people talk more about one in Mexico than in Argentina hurts a bit. One would like to be recognized in His country. With Lionel (Scaloni) I was lucky to be more of a protagonist and that gives me great satisfaction. Over there, the match against Juventus makes it look a bit more, but in Mexico I was lucky to be champion and win the award to the goalkeeper of the league", expressed Marchesín in dialogue with Sportia by Tyc Sports.

Agustín Marchesín is always cited by Lionel Scaloni for Argentina

The 32-year-old goalkeeper is always in the National Team manager's folder, but he hasn't had many opportunities with the Albiceleste (he only played seven games, all friendly). In relation to this, he commented: "The coaching staff watches all the games and I feel that I have been doing things well for a long time. For me it's a pride to be in the National Team and to be part of this process that has been improving day by day. It's a very big dream to be part of a call-up, it's the maximum for any player, be it first, second, third, whatever. While in Peru I missed the birth of my son. We put a lot of things aside to be there".

Marchesín was left with the desire of the Qualifiers

Finally, the footballer of the Portuguese team emphasized the double knockout date that will not be able to be played in the end. "I was very excited to go and be part of it. I understand the moment, there are things much more important than a football match. We are experiencing something that is sad in the world, hopefully it will be solved soon".
