Giovanni Simeone has thanked his father, Diego, for giving him belief after he made a a scoring debut for Argentina on Friday evening.

The Fiorentina striker, who is the eldest of Diego's three sons, was given a chance to impress in a new-look Argentina team against Guatemala on Friday evening.

Following the match, Giovanni said his father, who himself was an international for the Albiceleste, was always confident he would follow in his footsteps.

'As a kid when I played at River, my old man said that one day I would be here,' the 23-year-old told TyC Sports.

'I had several opportunities [in the match] and I am very happy because I have great team-mates who are always giving everything to be able to win.

'There were many nerves, anxiety and desire to see this new Argentina.

'In the first half we did everything we had to do and in the second we were a little more tired, but I think we played a great game.' 

Diego Simeone was also an Argentina international before moving into football management

Simone, 23, made his debut for Argentina against Guatemala in Los Angeles on Friday evening

Giovanni's chance for Argentina came following major changes to the senior squad. Lionel Messi, Gonzalo Higuain and Sergio Aguero were all left out following their dismal performance at this summer's World Cup.

The interim Argentina manager, Lionel Scaloni, has refused to rule out a return for the attacking trio, but he looked intent to begin afresh with the best of the country's young players in Los Angeles.

Giovanni, who joined Fiorentina from Genoa last summer, has seen his reputation continue to grow after scoring a respectable 14 goals in Serie A last season. 

He has one goal to his name in this season's campaign.

The forward looked dangerous throughout the match and had several chances to score more

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
