The career aspiration of every footballer is to play for his home country and Robertone, who has been international in lower ranks, such as the U23s squad, does not give up on it; quite the contrary: ‘Making the leap to their national team is a dream for any player. I truly hope the opportunity comes to me and I can be part of the Argentina senior squad some day.’

Lucas Robertone stressed that it is absolutely necessary to have faith in your team-mates so that all the players can team up and achieve the goals: ‘The head coach trusts me, just like my team-mates. I try to improve every day and do the best for the team and also meet the objectives with UD Almería.’
To end his speech, he highlighted the real importance of the friendly game against Italian Serie A side Torino FC: ‘It’s great to face teams from other European leagues, it’s incredibly interesting and we’ll keep on improving. We’ll try to obtain a positive result to go into the fixture against Cádiz CF in form.’ In addition, he mentioned the deep desire that everyone in the squad feels to do better when playing away from home and they are working hard for it.
