As the French national team prepares for EURO 2024, Kylian Mbappe is determined to lead his team to success in this competition. The 1998-born forward sparked controversy with his statement that the EURO is a more competitive tournament than the World Cup because teams have similar levels of skill.Mbappe believes that teams like Brazil or Argentina do not have to endure difficult matches to qualify for the World Cup. This is also why the recent World Cup champions have all been from Europe. Lisandro Martinez is not pleased with Mbappe’s comment. The Argentine defender recently responded, stating, “I won’t comment on Kylian Mbappe’s statement. Kylian has the right to say what he wants.
However, I have a different opinion from Mbappe. Simply put, I don’t underestimate Argentina’s South American opponents. In my view, every tournament has its own difficulties, and no tournament is easy to win. For the Argentine national team, in the upcoming Copa America, we know that we need to be humble. Argentina has won the title before and understands its significance. But we still have a strong desire to win and add to our honors.
The important thing is for the Argentine national team to stay grounded. That’s also a characteristic of Argentines. We take on each opponent one by one, and everyone understands the importance and meaning of being the defending champions.”
The Argentine national team is currently the defending champion of the Copa America. Coach Lionel Scaloni’s squad is considered to have a great chance of successfully defending their title in this year’s tournament.
