The Argentine coach, who did not mention the team he manages at the press conference, also spoke about the role a leader plays in different moments, whether good or bad.

In this regard, he said that “the mistakes that led to defeat must be corrected,” but “we must also build on what was done well for the future, to consolidate that and continue growing.”
