It’s a joke that Brazil… puts out their 23 man roster for the Copa on May 17th and Argentina have a 36 man list…
why?
Because this doesn’t allow the Argentinian players to have peace of mind knowing that they are ON THE TEAM! Which doesn’t allow them to relax and get mentally ready to play in a month.
It sounds little but makes a BIG difference with the players anxiety and a difference will be noticed on the pitch.
It’s a coaches job to create confidence for their players not worry!!! The little things add up
Now we have to call Pavon, Ascacibar, Vazquez, Benitez, Caseres, Cervi, Marcos Rojo, Romero, Kranevitter, Martinez Quarta let’s make it to 50…
WTF????? that guy is a jerk…..
Scaloni is a clown! Might as well call 50… he makes La Selección look like a circus… SHAME
walter Benitez and Pavon should’ve been on the list
Hope J. Correa goes. Also, would prefer J. Silva, F. Angileri or C. Bravo instead of Casco.
Why Milton casco? Is he better than ansaldi? And why not jaquain correa? He is better than any of them..
Mennoti prefers local league players no matter how much bad they are
He is not up on the times! When you are too old school
In form Lamela could be very handy to the team. I have stated numerous times here, he is a complete midfield player. He can attack , score, create and defend. Next season he needs to leave Spurs for any Spanish or Italian club.
Agree. Locelso, Lamela, Perreira, DePaul, Paredes are our best midfielders. For once! We have depth in midfield.
Lamela actually had good tournament in 2016 Copa, not only he scored some goals there but he’s very involved in attacking play even in semifinal.
Sadly, Tata opted to field Di Maria who’s barely recovered from his injury he suffered in second game. Its the same mistake that Sabella made in 2014 final, replacing Lavezzi with injured Aguero.
1 spot left: must be for J.Correa or Papu Gomez.
Both are good I will prefer pappu
Over whom would you take j.correa? SUAREZ? Pity?
Messi
aguero
Icardi
A.correa
Suarez
Dimaria
Pity Martinez
