“Let's see what happens with Argentina. Beyond that, I made sure my players knew they were going to come up with a new plan and I fundamentally changed their tactical system, but we still got it resolved. But Argentina should be fined. Okay? A fine “I wrote that, Olé, La Nación,” he added, mischievously mentioning two Argentine media outlets.
