The Brazilian team was the only one in the entire history of the South American World Cup Qualifiers that had never lost at home until tonight when Argentina took away that unbeaten record of 65 games without defeats as host by defeating them 1-0 at the Maracaná stadium.
And one of the great people responsible for the feat was Nicolás Otamendi, scorer of the only goal of the classic.
“We are a team that seeks to break the rules. We try to play our game with respect. We needed to win, give a response, we didn’t play well the previous game. Today we gave an answer to ourselves and to the people who support us,” the defender told TyC Sports.
And when asked regarding the incidents that occurred in the previous one, he said: “It makes you very angry because the only ones who get hit are the Argentines. It happened in the final of the Libertadores, it makes you very helpless, I hope this changes and every team that comes to Brazil is respected. Today it was hitting for the sake of hitting, they hit them with the sticks.”
Finally, Otamendi spoke regarding the situation of Ángel Di María, who might soon leave the national team by his own decision: “We know that he is an emblem of the national team, he is someone very important. It is a personal decision, but we always insist on it. We are a group that always moves forward, you will have time to decide with your family.”
