Scoring two goals to eliminate the motherland team s riverbed, Palmeiras striker: Hope to be called by the national team

September 26th, in the quarter-finals of the South American Liberators Cup, Palmeiras eliminated Riverbed and advanced to the semi-finals. In two rounds, Palmeiras's Argentina striker Jose Manuel Lopez performed well, scoring two goals against his motherland team. With the start of the World Cup nine months before he started, he began to look forward to participating in this highly anticipated event.

In an interview with ESPN, Lopez said: "This is my dream all the time, but it's still far from realization and there's still a lot of work to do. I'm working hard to improve myself every day, and I hope that when the opportunity comes, I'm ready."

"Now, the national team coaching staff will watch all the games, probably not as often as the Argentine media. I'm glad to play in Brazil and believe they decided to call me by watching Palmeiras. I'm doing my best to do my job."

"I hope there will be more recruitment opportunities in the future, which is a dream for me. The first time I'm a member of the national team is wonderful, and I enjoy every moment, like I always dreamed of. It's a glory to represent my country."
