Ahead of the semi-final against England, Alvarez gave an official interview to FIFA, discussing their form and what it is like to play with Messi.
How does the team stay energized and consistently perform at its best?
"I don't know if you call it staying energized. I think that energy has never disappeared; we've proven that over the years: in the Copa América, qualifiers, and friendlies. This team always gives its all, no matter the match."
"We know there's fierce competition within the squad. We all want to wear this jersey, do our best, continue representing the nation, and we also have many excellent Argentinian players behind us."
"To achieve good results, you have to perform well in every game, keep wearing this jersey, keep your number, and not want to give up your place to anyone. To do that, you have to give your all and do things well, and for that, there is a great team supporting you on a personal level."
The importance of continuing to accompany Messi to the 2026 FIFA World Cup
"It means a lot. I've watched him play since I was a child; he's my idol and my brothers' idol. Today, to have the opportunity to keep playing alongside him and be so close to achieving something important for the Argentina national team, to be by his side enjoying all of this and helping him in every way I can, is simply a dream come true."

You are not even a football lover.....let alone the fan base......toxic people like you taint the beautiful game
I argee with you. These current fans are unbelievable. Before Ronaldo n Messi, We loved the game first. It was football first. Now people hate for no reason. The funny part is that Ronaldo n Messi dont even know them.
