I had spoken briefly with one of Felipe Contempomi’s brothers last night; he told me that both brothers are in an excellent mood and prepared for this new challenge. Everybody here is extremely anxious about this Friday’s match with France for the third place. But we are certain that this time they will win over the French team as they did in the first match of this World Cup. I know quite well Les Bleus, some of them are magnificent players, but our dear team, with their families and best friend around them in Paris are completely relaxed and they had recovered from the shocking circumstances of their defeat last Sunday. They know that they have to play much better to win, they are aware of the many mistakes that they made during that match and they are decided to overcome all that sad situation and play as they did from the very beginning, just using their brains and united in a solid team, as le Duc de Saint Simon said once “Il faut serrer les rangs pour trouver la victoire” they will play as one man, completely committed to reach a victory and stand in the podium next Saturday with England and South Africa. God bless them and I am confident that Our Lady will protect them, most of our Pumas are good Catholics and they went to Notre Dame de Paris for mass with wives, kids, parents, brothers and sisters, they just pray to our Lady to help them, if they deserve it, with the victory.
