00:00Hi, Mauricio. Steve Goff from Yahoo Sports in English.
00:03I was wondering if you could discuss the mentality of this team after the red card
00:09and the perseverance that the team showed through the end of the match.
00:15Well, first of all, I think congratulate the players and the staff,
00:20all the people that make it possible to perform in the way that we were performing today.
00:27And then thank you to the fans. They were amazing one more time.
00:32We are so proud in behalf of all the staff, all the people.
00:38In behalf of the players, it's a big thank you to the fans.
00:42We are so proud about them.
00:47I think, yes, it was after the red card of Valo.
00:52I think we were talking in the calling break.
00:57I think it was a weather break.
01:00About now we need to show that we are a team, that we are united.
01:05And that was the moment to show to everyone and to show ourselves
01:09that it's not only empty words when we say that we are a family.
01:14And I think the team showed the qualities, the capacity to compete,
01:20to fight for each other.
01:22Yes, I think so proud.
01:24So proud about the players.
01:26They are the heroes.
01:27They are the principal actor and they deserve all the credit.
01:34Again, front row, please.
01:39Hi, Mauricio.
01:40Tom Bogert, the Athletic in English.
01:42Just on the red card, what are your initial thoughts?
01:45Did you think it was the correct decision?
01:48And what was your conversations with Valo after the game?
01:52For me, never is a red card.
01:54Watching after on TV and never was the intention to step up of the player.
02:04That was a normal action in football that happened because by accident
02:10and it's never intentional, that is why for me it's never a red card.
02:18I think today, in all the 50-50 decision, I think no one worked for us.
02:31And the players, I think, react very well.
02:34We control that emotional part of the game that was so important.
02:38I think it's to prize the player because in the way that we control our emotional game,
02:44I think how they managed the situation was amazing
02:47and showed that we are mature enough to keep continuing, you know, competing.
02:55Mauricio, congratulations.
02:57Ben Jacobs from TalkSport.
02:58At full time, I was watching you passionately sing Country Roads
03:02and you look like a guy more from West Virginia than Murphy Santa Fe.
03:07and it reminded me of Jesse Marsh in Canada
03:10and he said he almost feels a bit Canadian.
03:13Do you in some way feel a little bit American
03:17or are you caught in this patriotism
03:19or are you still Argentine through and through?
03:22I am 200% Argentine.
03:24I am not, I am not, I feel Argentine, 200%,
03:33but I think when you are, you feel part of some scene bigger,
03:41things that we are building here,
03:44I enjoy being part of that amazing, you know, project.
03:51And of course, when that song starts to, you know, to sound in the, on the, on the stadium,
03:58it's impossible not to sing, it's impossible because it's an amazing song, you know,
04:04and it's very emotional and after to win a game, you know,
04:10after, you know, for one year and a half that we are preparing to be here
04:13and that is why we sign for that country or from that federation
04:20is because we wanted to feel, you know, that is an emotion.
04:25One thing is to be involved.
04:27I love to be involved and be part of the party,
04:32but I am 200% Argentine, sorry.
04:36I'm not going to lie, I'm not going to lie.
04:39Primera fila, a la izquierda.
04:41Mauricio Pablo, from The Guardian, congratulations.
04:44I wanted to ask about Malik's free kick,
04:47obviously, is a pretty electric moment, your view of it,
04:51if you could just talk a little bit about his contribution today
04:53and maybe the importance, too, of having a moment like that,
04:56you know, such a spectacular play for kind of the fans to consume.
05:00It was amazing.
05:01I think Malik is an amazing player, full of talent,
05:06and we knew that he has that talent to,
05:11the free kick sometimes to, you know, to do what he did, you know?
05:16So happy for him.
05:18Tough season for him in Leverkusen,
05:21but I think now he's enjoying and we are enjoying
05:24and the fans are enjoying about his football.
05:28All right, Alex Gerda.
05:31Yeah, coach.
05:32Hello. Alex Weber for FIFA.com, question in English.
05:36So I'm sure the most important thing for you guys
05:39was to advance to the next round,
05:41and I'm sure you're very happy for your players,
05:43but you're actually now the coach with the most wins
05:47in U.S. national team history at the World Cup.
05:51Could you, did you know about that
05:54and could you talk a little bit about what it means for you?
05:58Well, I think we were talking the other day before and after Turkey.
06:03We are here because we want to win and some records that can happen,
06:09you know, are very welcome, but it's not that the objective for us.
06:15The objective is to try to help and to add our knowledge and quality
06:20in that organization, in this organization to try to be all together,
06:25trying to fight for big, you know, dreams and goals.
06:33Of course, always is, I'm not going to lie, I'm not going to say it's not nice,
06:38but it's not our objective, that, you know, it's our objective,
06:42like we were talking, it's about to be competitive, it's about to win,
06:46it's about to now keep, you know, that momentum, like you say,
06:53and to try to prepare in the best way the game again Belgium in Seattle.
06:59Tercera fila, Alcentro.
07:04Mauricio Paul Kennedy of Soccer America in English.
07:08Did you happen to have a chance to see the end of the Belgium-Senegal game?
07:11And also, what do you think of the opportunity to play Belgium again,
07:15a team you had played and had a very difficult game in March?
07:18Yeah, we saw the game, a few minutes that we were traveling from the hotel to here,
07:26we missed, but we already in March we played in Atlanta, again, Belgium,
07:31and we know very well that it's a team full of quality,
07:38for me before to start the World Cup and after a few games,
07:45I've seen for me it's one of the contenders about to win that World Cup,
07:50unbelievable quality, great coach, I know very well the coach,
07:54and it's going to be really tough, it's going to be very competitive,
07:59and of course for us it's about to keep dreaming, it's about to keep working really hard and competing and
08:07all is possible.
08:08I think in football it's possible if you believe, and we are going to believe that with all the respect
08:13to Belgium,
08:14with our fans in Seattle, I think we can be very competitive and, of course, try to win the game
08:20and to go to the next round,
08:23but for that to happen, we need to perform well and we need to deserve.
08:32Good evening, Marcus D. Smith, USA Today Sports in English.
08:37A couple of weeks ago we saw, talking about the red card, a couple of weeks ago we saw a
08:42similar play happen between Argentina and Algeria
08:45when Lionel Messi kind of stepped on one of Algeria's players' ankles and he avoided a red card.
08:51I was wondering if you had any thoughts or comments whether Balos should have had some of the similar outcome
08:56being that it was kind of a similar type of play?
09:00No, for me, both were not red card, I think.
09:09It's not intentional, I can talk only for Balos, but because I don't remember too much, but I think never
09:20was,
09:20it was intentional. For me, it's about to see the intention.
09:26If the intention is to damage the opponent, okay, I understand, but that never was,
09:31because a normal action in football that you are, you know, fighting for the ball and your feet land, no?
09:39That was, yeah, maybe a little bit tough, the scene to watch, but I think it never was intentional.
09:47I think, for me, that action never was, it's never a red card, never.
09:55Goal question in English.
09:57You mentioned the players and the coaches on your staff earlier today.
10:00What has this whole journey meant to you so far, considering everywhere you've coached,
10:05and where does this all rank for you?
10:08I understand.
10:26It's difficult to compare because the competition are all different.
10:34It's completely different, you know, Champions League, Europa League, Premier League, La Liga, France League,
10:42or in Argentina League.
10:44I think every single competition is different.
10:49I think the World Cup is different because you defend, you know, the culture of the people.
10:56I think you need to, on the field, you need to, and of course off the field,
11:01you need to try to show how you are, like a country, you know?
11:07I think the identity is so important.
11:10It's how you play, it's how you live and how you are.
11:15And that is why it makes a little bit different, you know, that competition.
11:19Because it's not only to prepare a game and go to play again another team.
11:23It's not only to go and to, no, it's to represent your country, it's fight for your flag.
11:30It's, of course, the emotion, but the culture, the idiosyncrasies, the philosophy,
11:34and, you know, it's how you are.
11:37And I think it's much, much, much bigger, you know, things.
11:40Of course, that when you represent a club, it's the same.
11:44It's a similar scene, but, you know, it's a different level.
11:52But I think that experience is, I live that experience like a player in Argentina,
11:57but now, like a coach, yes, it's an amazing feeling.
12:02I think it's, it's, that is why, you know, people become crazy, you know?
12:05About to be involved and want to participate.
12:09You know, it's, it's, it's to fight your culture again another culture, you know?
12:14It's only a half football or soccer game, you know?
12:17And that is, means a lot for the people.
12:21Lo mismo Laro, quarta fila.
12:24Joshua Robinson with the Wall Street Journal.
12:26Question in English.
12:29And the games are coming quickly now, and you play again in four days.
12:32The, have you considered your options yet to replace your top scorer,
12:36since you won't have them available?
12:38I don't know, I think we need to talk about if we can appeal, you know?
12:42The red card, that is, could be or should be fair, you know?
12:50To appear and to, to demonstrate that it wasn't red card.
12:54But I don't know if that is possible or not.
12:59If that is not possible, we will have, you know, different options that,
13:06that will see which decision we will take, you know?
13:14Segunda fila, a la izquierda.
13:17Hey Mauricio, Peter Rutzler from The Times.
13:19Just to follow that, we've been told it's not possible.
13:22It's not possible.
13:22It's not possible.
13:23That's what we've been told.
13:24Can I just ask, just to back on that again, just how is following,
13:28how is flow in the dressing room?
13:29Because obviously it's a, it's a difficult moment.
13:31Yes, it's disappointed, no?
13:33It's very disappointed because I think it was an action that wasn't,
13:36it was an intention and he's sad.
13:39But also he's happy because we qualified.
13:43And yeah, but disappointed.
13:45I think he's disappointed, he's sad because I think it wasn't his intention
13:49and it's difficult to do, you know, nothing.
13:52We cannot do nothing to change that, that feeling, you know?
13:56But that is, that is soccer, that is football,
13:58that he needs to understand that this type of situation happened.
14:02Hope that he, for sure, is going to help us to perform.
14:06And hope that we can go to the next round and be available again.
14:12Premier Fila, Dredja.
14:18Mauricio, many congratulations on the win today.
14:21Obviously within the last 32 we've seen a lot of upsets, close games.
14:28Not to say that victory today was by any extent easy, it was hard fought,
14:33but how much pride do you take in the way that you came through,
14:38especially in the closing moments?
14:39No, I think, I feel so proud about the team, very proud.
14:46It's difficult to describe our feeling because I think they were amazing.
14:53And, no easy game in the World Cup, you cannot find an easy game.
15:00And I think today in the way that we play, it's not only the victory,
15:06it's not in the way that we earn the victory,
15:09that it's so important to talk, because you can win.
15:15But in the way that we win, I think also it's about to prize the player.
15:23In different periods, how we identify the situations,
15:28when to play, when to fight, when to compete,
15:30when to be intelligent in how we defend deep and narrow,
15:35when we need to go and to press.
15:37I think the maturity of the team is amazing.
15:41In the way that we were growing in the last five, six weeks,
15:47from the, I think, even when we lose some games against Portugal
15:52in March and Belgium, I think the team was growing.
15:56I think we are so proud, so proud about them.
