"The condition of the pitch is part of the game, we can't change it but we can adapt to it." Damian Martinez said, "We've played a few games on a pitch like this, including the opener against Ecuador, so we're no strangers to it. Of course, everyone wants a perfect pitch to show their skills, but the reality is often not like that."
He further emphasized that while the condition of the field may pose some challenges for the team, Argentina will not be distracted or make excuses. "Our job as players is to focus on the game itself and give our best regardless of the venue." Damian Martinez said firmly, "We will use our skills and tactics to overcome these difficulties and ensure that our performance is not affected."
In addition, he elaborated on his team's mentality for the final. "We know it's going to be a tough game, but we have the same fantasy and passion." Damian Martinez said, "Like I said before, we've been to the final four times, but each time is as exciting as the first. We will be at our best to show up on the pitch and give our country and our fans a great game."
Damian Martinez is confident about the upcoming final. "We have a great team of goalkeepers and great teammates who are behind me." He said, "We will work together to make sure we don't lose our goal, while trying to create more chances in the game. I am confident that if we work together and fight hard, we will be able to overcome our opponents and win the championship."
