For many years, Agustín Marchesín has been one of the great figures that Argentina has in foreign football. First in Mexico and now in Portugal, the former Lanús and America goalkeeper, among others, was key for Porto to eliminate Juventus in the Champions League. However, in his country he isn't recognized despite the fact that Lionel Scaloni regularly cites him to the National Team.

Nahuel Guzmán, a friend of the goalkeeper, gave an interview with La Nación and assured that Marchesín is recognized in Mexico, but not in Argentina, due to not having friends in the press who talk about him. "Marche (Marchesín), who is caught at an incredible level, is one or two years younger than me... I think those who have the opportunity to play in Europe and compete in the Champions League have a little advantage. Like Marche, but It seems that you have to have friends in the press to talk about some", he said.

On his part, the Tigres goalkeeper spoke about his chances of being able to defend the goal of the Argentine National Team and assured that he still will not lower his arms, and hopes to be part of the qualifying rounds and the next World Cup.

"Maybe I don't offer that touch of playing in the Premier or the Champions League, but the final of the Club World Cup against Bayern was a nice test to show me if I was ready for those kinds of games. And I realized that I was. I am not going to get off a healthy competition. There was no generational cut in the arc of the selection, so, maybe, I still have chances", he sentence.

And he concluded: "I put my head in Tigres. I thought a more abrupt generational change was coming, but if I start to see ... Most of them are archers who are almost my age. And Willy (Caballero), who went to a World Cup with 36 / 37 years old, he taught me - without telling me - never to lower my arms. And fight for those dreams".
