Argentine NT: News, Stats & Players [R]

oh yeah, you're right.

That makes it more difficult as I'm not sure who's going to play as the RM.

 

Man... I do feel bad for Ajax. I guess, this is good for Poch though.

 

All England final, kinda gross, lol.

Champions League feels like WWE this year, though. Like cmon you couldn't script any more obvious drama than that, haha. Fun but can anyone literally defend worth a damn?

 

Even though it’s an all England final the teams sure as hell don’t play like it.

A Germany-Argentina final is more like it.

Oh-oh.

 

I would like to try Di Maria in the right midfield. Hopefully no more Paredes.

A midfield of Di Maria-Guido-Palacios-Lo Celso could work.

 

Its really frustrating that Argentina has been producing world class managers and best ever , yet the national team is in this kind of state.

Ajax has 3-0 lead up to the first half of second leg , conceiding countless goals in short period of time is obviously a trend.

 

Argentine knows how to celebrate

Lol. Those dudes cannot sing in harmony, AT ALL. Sound like a bunch drunk fu#ks.

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

 

Yea but I only meant Lamela, he celebrated as if he's the hattrick hero lol

 

Managed by Pochettino and Klopp, both of the Bielsa School. Only three English players between the midfield and attack of both sides: Kane, Ali and third-rate Milner.

 

Why are Liverpool favorites? Tottenham plays better football.

Just imagine what Poch could do with Argentina.

 

Liverpool is only a point behind Man City in the league. Tottenham are 24 points behind them. Beat them head to head twice. Goal diff of +65 vs. +28. Liverpool also beat a bigger opponent in their semi. Plenty of reasons they are the favorite, not that Tottenham are any slouches.

 

Nobody can blame anyone from refusing to coach a NT that didnt even pay their securities and the coach for almost a year. Remember what happened in middle of Copa? Tata said he hasnt been paid for almost a year and the securities knocked on Messi hotel room to tell him that they havent been paid! Messi even complained (he rarely complain publicly) on AFA flight delay that affected their training schedule ahead of the final. Can you imagine that kind of fiasco in middle of major tournament? how's its not going to affect the players and manager's mind?

No world class manager would be willing to join the AFA circus.

 

Spurs beat Ajax team by turning the deficit in one half and this Ajax team beat Real madrid and Juventus with CR on its rank. Barca reached semifinal by beating MU team that ranked 6th in the league and getting thrashed by mid table team. They also thrashed in similar fashion last season by Roma. They have been riding on Messi's back in last few seasons, not exactly a European superpower.

You mentioned they're behind City by 24 points but you forgot they're the one who eliminated City in CL.

 

The league standing is definitely a valid point, however that's likely a case of more depth for Liverpool who have a bigger budget. However, I watched their recent league match at Anfield and Tottenham were vastly superior, Sissoko cost them the match with an extremely poor decision on an open play in the box when the score was 1-1. Son also hit the post while the game was level, in all one of the most undeserved wins I've seen this season.

Should Tottenham win the CL, Pochettino will have the clout to ask for a dual role as Argentina NT in addition to the club. He doesn't need the money, neither did Martino, although of course on principle the AFA has to pay them. In the meantime, Scaloni needs to call up Foyth to the Copa America, all of Pochettino's pupils come through in international tournaments.

Alongside him, the other great candidate for manager is El Muneco. I think he is pretty much done with River Plate, the NT would be the next step for him.

 

Well, Poch did say recently that he'd most likely to leave Spurs, win or lose. So who knows... but I highly doubt he'd ever coach the NT in near future. I'd pick Foyth as part of Copa squad aswell, regardless his recent recklessness. He's still needs to mature but the NT needs to introduce and let these younger players to have more experience in major tournament.

Side notes : Higuain is in Europa league final and he's going to show everyone he could score a winning goal (or simply proof himself as ultimate choker even after retiring from NT)

 

Report: Tottenham target midfield trio Rodrigo De Paul, Nicolo Zaniolo and Giovani Lo Celso

https://tbrfootball.com/report-tott...-de-paul-nicolo-zaniolo-and-giovani-lo-celso/

Poch is rumoured to be a fan of De Paul and Lo Celso.

Although there are also some rumours floating around that Poch is leaving Spurs, so who knows.

 

I would like to see this line-up at the Copa:

Aguero - Messi
De Paul - Palacios - Ascacibar - Lo Celso
Tagliafico - Pezzella - Otamendi - Saravia
Musso​

Bench:
Andrada, Armani - Acuna, Romero, Kannamann, Mercado - Di Maria, Paredes, Zaracho - Dybala, Martinez, Icardi

 

Is Lanzini still injured? I think Pezzella may be out of the Copa America, I would move up Kannemann to replace him in the starting line up and bring in Foyth ahead of Romero.

 

I thought De Paul was being linked to Napoli. Probably a better move for him. Lo Celso will be interesting.

Pezzella should be ready.
