They passed the training The game arrived today and Alexis came out. Then it was somewhat empty; then we came to Bolivia and I had to go to the bank”, Mac Allister began to count. “After a little while of talking to him He told me that, although he had said before that he wanted me to start training, he did not see me well, he thought I was not in the best shape, and finally he left me. Maybe it was a moment that was not so good, but at the same time it helped me a lot to know that I was 100 percent,” he explained.

It was also time to explain that the only Argentine MVP match was won by Leo Messi. “When I won, they asked me who I would give it to and it is true that I would give it to Leo.
