And so did most of the Argentinian players. They were hungry for a goal even in the very last second of the match.
It being the last set-piece of the game, almost every single opposing player was rushing upfield to be part of this set-piece. And, with all those players flocking in, the penalty box of the Japanese side was getting rather cramped.
As if asking for permission to leave his post while glancing at the sidelines, the keeper of the opposing team looked at Diego, their coach.
The moment Diego locked eyes with the keeper of his team, he immediately understood his intentions.
Even though Diego liked such an attitude where his players would thirst for the goal until the final moment of the match, today they had already won the game, and permitting him to move upfield was akin to disrespecting the opposing team.
