In an interview with the media, Alvarez expressed his desire to help the Argentine Olympic team win the gold medal. Because in his honor room, the only thing missing is the Olympic title. Alvarez is at the peak of his career and has already won the Copa America and the World Cup, the only thing missing is the Olympic gold medal. However, judging by Argentina's mediocre performance in their first match at the Paris Olympics, the team's quest to win the gold medal appears to be a pipe dream. It is still unknown whether Argentina will make it out of the group stage of the Olympics. In the match with Morocco, the Argentinean team failed to win the opening match of the Paris Olympics after a fierce competition and a final 2-2 handshake. Many Argentine fans believe the team lacks the strength and form to compete for the title and is seriously overrated.
After the match, the coaching level of Argentine national Olympic team manager Mascherano once again triggered questions from fans. Many fans believe that Mascherano should first prove his ability in the lower leagues, and after he has gained enough experience, it would be more appropriate for him to coach the Argentine national team. Currently, there are not many young players with strength and characteristics in the Argentine team, so it is indeed a big challenge to reproduce the glory of winning the gold medal in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. I hope Mascherano can lead the Argentine national Olympic team out of the predicament as soon as possible, and strive to get out of the group stage, and then consider competing for the Olympic gold medal.
