Argentine NT: News, Stats & Players [R]

The key is to have midfield that could maintain possesion without losing the ball in counter attack situation. Argentina conceided 6 goals in last Copa and 5 of them were same exact counter goals which opponents simply run from the wing and squared it to the center.

However, when you have Messi playing in midfield, you basically has one less player who could fight for the ball in midfield because Messi these days will only run when he's on the ball but he aint pressing and maintaining possession.

Paredes seems like playing at good level at PSG at the moment, he also provided an assist in WC qualifier last time around, but he needs to be paired with the right DmF.

Otamendi against any top attacking players would be a nightmare to watch but it seems that he's Scolani good friend lol

There are 3 Argentines at PSG (4 with the manager), so even though I never like mercenary's club, hopefully they'd win the CL.

 

Leandro Paredes’ game by numbers vs. Bayern Munich:

100% aerial duels won
100% dribble success
90% pass accuracy
73 total touches
6 fouls suffered
2 interceptions
2 tackles won
2 clearances
1 big chance created

If he plays... I still like our chances.

 

Anyone still questioning Lisandro? Calling him a hack of all trades master of non? The boy is putting MoTm performances weekly. One of Ajax players of the year. He has elite potential. Romero+Lisandro that’s the cb pairing in copa if scaloni is serious. Romero can help with Lisandro height problem. Both are good with the ball. Lisandro is actually insane on it, hummels like. Soo smooth. Short of that 3rd choice is senesi. Add in Perez for the wc and we might just have something.

 

I remember Li Martinez and Romero playing together for an U-23 match and they looked good together. However, granted it was only a U-23 match.

 

Romero is also being linked with Barcelona. Rumor is Atalanta are going to trigger the loan-buy option and then he goes to the highest bidder.

Also Foyth is also apparently killing it for Villarreal.

 

I read on here people called him jack of all trades master of none. People rated Senesi over him I think too. Anyway boy is a beast.

Lisandro to barca makes sense given his style. I read it not sure if barca will have the money for it. I could see it though.

Kind of a similar position Palcios was in. Granada is an underdog who have a coach that is doing well for them. THey're team is set why fix what isn't broken. He's barely played and when he has its decent. Atleti should've called him back in January and found a spot where he is needed though. Its on them.

Would be stupid of Juve to let him go. De ligt and him that sets your defence for a decade.

 

I don’t think Juve has a choice in the matter. They put that stipulation in his contract. I don’t even think there is a buyback clause.

They messed up. Bonucci and Chiellini are done. Demiral hasn’t been the same since his ACL rupturing.

 

Bananas if they have up for nothing. I’d like him in Juve tbh. He’d do well there

 

Does anybody know when we will be playing our next game, and when the suspended qualifiers against Uruguay and Brazil will be played?

I look at our fixture list, and I don’t see any space in the calendar for us, unless it’s January 2022 or something. European seasons end around May 23rd, and our qualifier against Chile is June 3rd.

The next game is against Chile on 6/3. For the suspended qualifiers against Uruguay and Brazil, my guess is that it'll be a triple WCQ match per 1 international break in Sept and October like how Europe is doing at the moment. (3 WCQ games in one international break when normally the team only had 2 in one international break).

The team also have WCQ matches scheduled in Jan/Feb 2022 against Chile and Colombia. Don't know if the European clubs will release their players during Jan/Feb 2022 time.

 

Two nice goals from RDP. But he also picked up a straight red. Perhaps a bit harsh but they held onto the victory. Molina gave away a PK.

 

Palacios subbed at half. Didn’t have the best game tbh. The whole team looked stuck on neutral

 

That definitely isn’t fair tbh

 

Would have been great to push all the WCQ games to the next international break and play Uruguay and Brazil in the June international break before the Copa 21 starts.

Also, might as well just throw in one more WCQ in June for a triple WCQ match since Australia and Qatar are not participating in the Copa anymore.

 

ADM assist to Icardi for the winner.

Looks like the shit just hit the fan with this "European Super League" nonsense. Might affect our players a lot.

 

A world super league. Have teams from all over the world play each other... to the death!

 

Hopefully Messi won't sign with Barcelona now.

 

At this point, I'd rather bring Icardi to Copa than glass knee Aguero.
