FNX Magokiler Posted October 17, 2023 Posted October 17, 2023 PARIS, France (Special Envoy).– The image of the Pumas getting off the plane is quite a symbol. It is confirmation that the first objective has been achieved. “Let's go to Paris!”, the players repeated after the emotional victory against Wales. Fifty-six days passed since they arrived in France and, after going all the way around, starting with Marseille, passing through Saint-Étienne and Nantes and back to Marseille, the Pumas finally landed in this city. The significance of this fact lies not so much in the possibility of climbing the Eiffel Tower or visiting the Louvre. The true value of having gotten this far lies in the fact that it implies having achieved the greatest objective: playing the seven matches of the World Cup. The victory against Wales, in the quarterfinals, is equivalent to being in the cup until the end. Even if logic happens and the Pumas fall to the All Blacks, this Friday, at 9 p.m. (16 from Argentina), in the first semifinal, they will still remain in competition with the bronze medal at stake. Once the objective has been achieved, now they will go for more. If the Pumas got this far it is largely because of what Marcos Kremer did. Like a Viking, he went out to play every game, leaving his body on the field. The flag that the team raised this Saturday at the Stade Vélodrome of fight, dedication, fury, has the third line as its greatest exponent. Not only against Wales, in all the matches he had a superlative performance, including the fateful defeat against England in the debut. Where he was one of the few who did not fail. Kremer is, so far, the Pumas' best player in France 2023. With his 2m height and 110kg, but also because of his lush red beard and his reckless appearance, Kremer became the player most feared by rivals. He goes forward with pure power every time he takes the ball and is frequently used as a ball-carrier, putting the team ahead. In defense he is a tackling machine and is one of the best in the world at pushing back the ball carrier and generating, from that defensive action, counterattack opportunities. And if Matías Moroni became the central axis of praise after the match with Wales in a country that adopted the Pumas beyond the borders of rugby, the impact that Kremer's performance is generating is no less important, both in the international media as well as in Argentine social networks. “Euphoria comes to us. “We are very in touch with family and friends,” Kremer accepts. “Tute's tackle was something incredible. Just like Dibu's save, it is an action that is carried out in a very short time. Sometimes you have to take a risk and it's money or shit, but when in addition to taking risks there is work and effort of years and years behind, most of the time the money comes.” https://www.lanacion.com.ar/deportes/rugby/mundial-de-francia-marcos-kremer-el-jugador-mas-temido-por-los-rivales-es-la-carta-magica-de-los-nid16102023/
