The heroic 29-17 victory of Los Pumas over Wales this Saturday generated an impact on Argentine rugby and this was felt by Marcelo Bosch, one of ESPN’s star guests in its broadcast along with other glories of the Argentine team such as Diego Albanese or Juani Hernandez.
After the match closed, when the time came to analyze, the former player’s throat closed with anguish: “They deserve it,” he managed to say while his eyes filled with tears. Excited by what he had seen on the court, he might not continue speaking and needed an break to compose himself.
Almost 15 minutes following that emotion on the air, his broadcast colleagues asked him if he might now comment on the game: “I don’t know if you want to talk Marce, if you recovered…”.
“Excuse me for losing my composure, perhaps because of watching the game below, even that player that I once was got a little mixed up. Now I have to be colder, communicating what I see, but well, he surpassed me, what is he going to do,” Bosch said on camera with his eyes still showing his emotion.
Regarding the analysis, he commented: “I think what this team leaves you with today is that commitment, having built the game, having endured the adverse moments. And what it was was the complete dedication of the team to be patient, to be specific when opportunities presented themselves. It was a magnificent second half for me, that Tomas Williams try was the only thing there to look at. Then it was a good second half, they took advantage of their opportunities.” And he added: “I wanted to take a little bit on the issue of dedication, because they deserved it, we were saying, they can still give a little more, and one is demanding because we have seen this team and today they have shown it. Are there things to improve and adjust for the semifinal? Surely yes, but they left everything on the field and everyone took a little step further individually.”
Bosch, 39, was part of the Argentine team that reached the semifinals of the 2015 World Cup in 2015, where they lost to Australia. Then, the story closed with a defeat once morest South Africa 24-13 in the duel for third place.
The Albiceleste team made sure, at least, to fight to match the best performance in its history in the World Cup with the third place it obtained in 2007. Although the focus will be on reaching the grand final on Saturday, October 28 in Saint Denis, being among The best four in the world already allows them to know that they will compete at least in the clash for third place.
The first semi-final will take place next Friday, October 20 at the Stade de France located in the north of Paris starting at 4:00 p.m. in Argentina (9:00 p.m. in France). The Pumas will meet their rival this followingnoon in the duel between Ireland and New Zealand, precisely in that stadium. The other side of the key will be completed this Sunday with the duel between England and Fiji in Marseille in the first round; and the subsequent presentation of the local France once morest South Africa in Saint Denis.
