Argentine NT: News, Stats & Players [R]

That’s the problem, no real competition right now.

 

How is De Paul doing recently? Can he not play in Di Maria’s position?

 

Angel Correa is a direct competitor for Di Maria. He regularly plays on both wings.

Joaquin Correa and De Paul are other alternatives, both have done well in Serie A this season.

 

No it isn't lol people like to shit on french league but it isn't that weak. It's very likely better than our league overall.

 

He's more of a second striker than a winger and, more importantly, he really isn't much better than Lamela or Cervi. Calling him won't make much difference, he's just another of the bunch.

 

So-so. He started very well at the start of the season, has cooled off.

Level of competition and level of talent are two different things. PSG walls onto the pitch and there is probably a 90% chance that they will win. The talent disparity is a large. Lyon, OM and etc are playing for number 2.

 

Yeah, but that doesn't make MLS an equal or better league to play. Even Monaco could probably kick Atlanta's ass.

 

Di Maria and Kun stayed healthy throughout WC 2018, they both scored great goal and we still lost in that game lol...

We have much more option in midfield this time around than in 2015-2018, so hopefully they'd combine well with them. We all know this time Icardi would be there also, probably Lautaro too since Higuain most likely wont be a consideration anymore.

I dont think reserving energy would really matter. The team performance what really matters at the end of the day. Messi and Neymar couldnt save Argentina and Brazil in 2018 despite entering the tournament healthy.

 

Like Modric said after beating England, all their taunts and criticism motivate us more than anything.

 

Scoring goals wasn’t really a problem. Defense and a horrible midfield is what cost us.

 

thinking Rojo and Mascherano at his age can handle Mbappe's pace lolol

 

Actually , speed isnt the main problem. Lots of team dont have flashy midfielders & defenders but when they park the bus, not even Messi could get through.

The biggest mistake was playing highline defence and getting countered over & over. Even when we somehow took the lead, Sampa changed nothing till last minute.

 

So, looks like Icardi was stripped of his captaincy. As a result, he’s refused to show up to the Inter side for the EL.

Not exactly making his case to make the CA team.

 

Also, Tagliafico left his side completely open for Real Madrid’s 2nd goal against Ajax.

That sort of mistake can haunt us really badly.

But I hear he was slightly injured.

A lot of our players are not in form, or fighting.

Almost seems like Messi-Aguero-Di Maria will be our front three again. Both Dybala and Icardi have had miserable seasons so far.

Defense will probably be Tagliafico-Otamendi-Pezzella-Saravia.

Mid will probably have Lo Celso and Paredes.

Goalie - Armani


Any update on how Foyth and Kannemann have been doing?

 

Taglia played a pretty good match actually. I would even say he was the best one of their back four. That play wasn't his fault at all, some idiot lost the ball in midfield when both FBs were going up the field and Madrid is pretty facking fast with counters. He almost got to Carvajal in time.

I didn't watch Tottenham much today but I saw Foyth made a mistake that luckily didn't end up in goal. He has shaky moments but he's a kid anyway.

 

Dude, MLS is definitely worse than mexican league, which in turn is slightly worse than our league. And our league is worse than the french one.

You mock the guingamps, Caens, Dijons... well, I'm pretty sure any french would mock our Patronatos, Gimnasias and Banfields if they were to watch them. They would probably mock River losing to Al Ain or whatever as well.

We have been left way behind by the top 5 European leagues in every sense.. tactical, infrastructure, fitness. Anything but raw technique of the players.

 

Tagliafico scored a header against Madrid that was disallowed with VAR because his teammate (who didn’t touch the ball) was inches offside, and yet Asensio’s goal was allowed to stand when Vazquez rugby tackled De Jong in the build up.

 

I think in Icardi's case, he just want to move since Inter will never be good enough to win the league, let alone the CL.

Remember that Icardi hit 4 goals at CL before they're out. After that Inter form just took a nosedive.


If its Real Madrid that scores that header, no way the ref would as for VAR.

 

Not only should Icardi leave Inter, he needs to leave that nasty hoodrat that he calls his wife.

 

A great article by @ThatArabKeeper looking at OGC Nice goalkeeper Walter Benitez and if he should start for Argentina at the Copa America. https://t.co/RbuHdn1jAC
