“I hope people realise the extent of the Coronavirus problem, because this is really no joke.”
Tucu has four senior caps for Argentina, scoring one goal, although he was called in only once in the last two years, for a 0-0 friendly with Chile in September 2019.
“Playing for Argentina is a dream I’ve had since I was a child and nobody can take away the hope of wearing that jersey again. If we’re talking about the history of football in Argentina, then Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona stand above the rest.
“However, if I had to name someone who taught me everything and is more than an idol, that is Sebastian Veron. He is like my football father. I saw him do incredible things on the pitch.”
