Sudamericano sub 20 2013 in Mendoza and San Juan

The kid is all hype! Notice how before the whole "new Messi" thrash, he was actually contributing for the team. They did the same thing with Robinho. Dude was hyped as the next Pele and then...

 

All Iturbe has is speed, I don't see him doing anything special in the last couple of games.

 

It's the Iturbe show in his mind. If he doesn't develop as a team player he will turn out like Mauro Zarate who to be fair was a better player at his age.

 

1-0 MT... Don't like the way we scored, would've actually liked a goal from a build up instead of a deflected shot. But if that's what it takes for the game to open for us then so be it. The problem is a lot of teams are just going to sit back and defend, we can't gather a couple passes together without losing the ball or somebody wanting to shoot from 30 yards out.

 

And the progression is too slow and it is too narrow. It makes the oppositions job easier to be compact and get back into position. The approach play is fine if a bit slow. But the final ball once again has been poor mainly Alan Ruiz.

 

Muarito even had a solid season at Lazio, won Coppa Italia, and was scoring very nice goals. Iturbe has yet to prove anything. He is only 19 but he is trying way too hard, the game should just come to him.

 

Iturbe is Nail Yakupov in disguise......

 

Morel trying to match Benitez ........

 

Very, very lucky escape......off the post from Montenegro and back to Benitez.

 

Damn, that was close!

 

LOL....... That was lucky.

 

Bunch of headless chickens....

 

Centurion can also hog the ball, could have released it earlier a couple of times into Vietto. Bring on Cartabia.

 

Well worked equalizer. 1-1.

 

Gol Paraguay.....

 

Damn it! This team is pitiful. ITURBE ANDATE A PARAGUAY!

 

I count 5 players in the back for Paraguay, and 1 attacker up front for us....

 

Trobbiani is a great coach. I 'd get Pochettino into the youth setup ASAP.

 

Give Vietto service and he is a threat. Amazing.

 

Joke....... Clown looks clueless on the sidelines. No u20 in Turkey....

 

This is becoming embarrassing. ******** Trobbiani and ******** this team. Bunch of pecho frios..

 

Aright, I am done watching these..........

 

Melano for Centurion ??????

 

Bad defending is not just a generational problem in Argentina. It's almost become a national idiosincracy. Someone needs to change that from the bottom up, starting with the kids. No se puede dejar tanto espacio atrás, nunca.

 

It looks like they were looking for someone worse than Perazzo. They found him.
