  1. He can go—–
    ———————–Romero ——————–
    Marcado———-Mascarano——–Otamendi

    Agusto——Pastora—-Peredes—-lanzini

    Messsi———dybala——–Maria

  2. A very interesting statistics would be how many of our players are an automatic starter for their respective team? There can be disagreement among members, but I do not see most as a critical member for their team’s success. This I am saying only for players who are in NT and possibly play a role now and in near future.

    Funes Mori, Otamendi (50-50), Aguero, Rojo, Lanzini

    Rest are struggling with their clubs.

  3. San Lorenzo won on penalties against Emelec and they qualified to quarter final of Copa Libertadores where will face another club from Buenos Aires – Lanus. That means Argentina will have at least one club in semifinal. The second may to be River.
