“In the World Cup I didn’t feel like an undisputed starter, but I felt like I had a good chance of playing. In the game against Poland, everything was even going well, the relationship with him was the same as always. The game against Argentina arrives and pretend that I was a stranger, as if I had never seen myself play, I didn’t start and I didn’t play“Edson Álvarez recalled in an interview broadcast by Caliente TV.
