Argentine NT: News, Stats & Players [R]

Kind of meaningless game I guess, since most aint players who'll start at u23 tournament . Even when they won the first game, they were outplayed.

The only good thing was the crowd presence.

 

Awful nonetheless, 0-3 against Japan... imagine these guys against the big boys. Was there anyone at all that made a positive impression?

 

Not worried about the loss of the U23. There are few players on this list that we have hopes for, but some key guys were missing. Hoping that when we head to Tokyo this summer, players like Luka Romero, Julian Alvarez, Lisandro Martinez, Foyth, Medina etc (all eligible to play b/c its 23 and under) will join the team. Although, I imagine that guys like Lisandro and Foyth will play in the Copa American and not the Olympics.

 

U-23 tend to have the weirdest results since the guys that are really good don't get released for these things.

 

Luka will likely be with the next generation, considering he is still 16.


It does seem more and more of a problem with clubs not releasing players. I think if players want to play, they’ll force their hands. Messi did with Barcelona in 08. Now, not everybody is not Messi but what are the clubs going to do if a player gets on a plane and joins his mates? Sue him?

The reality is a lot of these players would rather be on the beach, drinking some drink with some umbrella in it and relaxing than playing and training for another month or so. The Olympics should be an honor for any player, you’re representing your country in the biggest sporting event in the world. The opening ceremony and stuff like that is something you’ll remember for the rest of your life. Hanging out at some resort can be anytime.


The players need to grow a pair and just go.

 

My god it’s already April copa is in 2 months. And I’m starting to get worried about the squad. Not sure when the deadline is to announce the calll ups. Man, Scaloni has to make the correct move and leave Otamendi in Portugal. Romero is a must as is Senesi/martinez.

 

Palacios is starting new coach too

 

Alaric with a clean finish. Palacios playing great imagine that. I don’t think this new coach will drop him any time soon. 3 subs made and he’s still playing.

what a ball from Palacios. Sadly a hair offside

 

Maybe now I’ll start watching Leverkusen matches.

 

Watched today’s game he was a beast. Named MOTM. I think he’ll be a starter in copa. If we only go by today’s game. We shouldn’t worry about his future anymore. He played the entire match. First higher up the pitch and then reverted into a DM when their captain was subbed off. So clearly he the coach is comfortable with him.

 

Loco, let me ask you this. I know it’s the be all and end all of futbol but why hasn’t Nacho ever moved to Europe?

 

Understood. Yes, I just found it a bit perplexing why he never made the leap across the pond. I do vaguely remember the link to Celta. You would think though, a footballer would want some European football under his belt. Hell, Traca even got a season in England!


As for taking him to the Copa. I don’t know, should take and will take are two different things. As we know, managers have their ways and are at times stubborn as an old mule. Wasn’t Battaliga somebody Scaloni was keen on until he tore his ACL? And Guido is somebody he also likes. I don’t know, where Nacho falls in the order.


Scaloni has made some good choices but adding new blood. But he’s also stuck with certain players that really should not be in the starting 11 *cough* Armani *cough* Otamendi. We need some assurance in the midfield.
I don’t know how Lo Celso has done since he’s returned, and Palacios is perhaps finally getting some minutes. Paredes, who knows,‘I don’t really watch PSG too much.


It sucked we didn’t get any games during this break. We could’ve probably seen what the Copa side would’ve looked like. I guess we wait a little longer.

 

Calling Nacho makes more since than Enzo Perez did at least.

Juventus has withdrawn the extension to Dybala. Hopefully he just leaves now.

 

For the first time in 110 days (16 games), Lionel Messi failed to score or assist in a league match.

Leonardo Balerdi scored for Marseille over the weekend. He is only 22 and he has started in all of the last 5 games playing 90 mins in each, now that Sampaoli is the manager. At 6'2, playing for one of the top sides in France and only 22 years old, I hope the NT doesn't give up on this kid. I don't know why he didn't breakthrough at Dortmund, but I think he could flourish in Marseille. Could become a solid option for CB

 

Buendia is killing it in the Championship and he’s been linked to Liverpool. Today, he’s scored one goal and provided with three assists.

What a ball from Emi Buendia and finish from Pukki #ncfc pic.twitter.com/BjDQwCpCD1

Unfortunately, if he does leave he’ll probably end up at a place like PSG. A place where players go to kill off their careers. I’d take anyplace but PSG, that includes Atletico. But who knows, Cholo could probably leave if they manage to choke away La Liga, which appears it is going to happen.


If he doesn’t comeback with a bang, he will probably miss out on the CA.

 

i think its cool that we get players playing in italy however italy is trailing the other top leagues in europe. we need guys with more pace and more overall ability.
i think gaich will be important to us soon.

 

Dybala scored on his return. Lautaro also scored

Lukaku 🤝 Lautaro
