Sub 20: Argentina vs Uruguay

1. Lucas Ocampos n Gio Simeone with a goal each for Genoa.
   Dybala n Higuain with a goal each for Juve.
   Alejandro Gomez with a goal for Atlanta.
   Messi scored for Barca.

2. well we need an actual play maker and maybe…..
   “Messi was Iniesta in disguise

   “Nobody is like Andres Iniesta, not in the squad or in world football, that is the problem,” said Luis Enrique before this game.

   It was a fair comment from the coach, although one Messi proved wrong as he played the Iniesta role as well as his own.

   In another delightful performance he turned creator as he laid on several chances for his team-mates, but both Neymar and Suarez shamefully could not finish the wonderful opportunities he presented them with.

   • Incidentally, Dybala played as a creative playmaker for Juventus today, behind Higuian and alongside Mandzukic and Cuadrado.

     • EnganChe: very interesting and how did he play their as i did not see the game.

       • I haven’t seen the game either, just the highlights but Dybala scored a nice goal. Dybala was deployed as an attacking midfielder, in 4-2-3-1 formation, essentially in the same position he played for Argentina vs Uruguay before being sent off. So I think our attack could in theory be something like this

         Messi ——Dybala——Gaitan

         ———-Icardi/Pratto———-

         • this was messi today

3. Meanwhile Calleri with goal (!) and Lanzini with 2 assist.

   • Mateo Garcia started for Las Palmas and scored in their 1-1 draw.
     Valentin Vada scored for Bordeux in their 1-0 win.
     Along with Calleri all 3 scored their first of the season.
     Btw, it looks like the same old story with this U20 team as well.

     • Both Garcia and Vada are interesting players.
       I think Garcia scored his second in the season (the first in Copa Del Rey)

4. Ascacibar-XXX-Barco—Torres-Martinez-Conechny, 4-3-3?

5. In next game both Barco and Conechny should start.

6. But Every Argentina conceeded goals of the tournament were so stupid.

7. You have to give it to the boys, they are resilient

   • A lot of bad luck today. They deserved more.

     • Yeah Juli, we have to beat Bolivia now

8. It’s comedy. Sick and tired with this weird penalties. This team cannot to win games that they should win because of number of chances

   • Very naive defending

9. Torres!

10. It’s time for changes. Conechny? Chicco invisible.
    If they lost I’m not going to watch next game live. It’s dead of night in my country.

11. This team, as the Olimpic, still losing goals in most stupid way. And as the Olimpic this team also has not enough dense midfield. There’s a gap

12. I think we really lack players like Diego Sosa from Tigre, Lovera (Central) as creative one (or Messidoro) and Olivera (River) as LB

    • Or maybe Vadala. Lovera and Leonel Rivas are too late prospects. No excuses, Peru, Bolivia, Venezuela…a draw would be good today…and this generation is more talented than the last one, easily imo, the 1993’s gen was better too, even without the big absentees, and archieved nothing at home.

13. Well, I think the coach tried to address that with a formation change, this game is more like a midfield diamond 4-3-1-2, with Mansilla and Chicco alongside Ascacibar and Barco as as a playmaker.

14. Ascacibar can move forward sometimes with the ball, if he wants, the problem he rarely wants, but his passing must improve rapidly, if he wants to be NT’s future midfielder. Maybe Joaquin Pereyra, who a more versatile midfielder than Chicco or Ojeda.

    • “Ascacibar can move forward sometimes with the ball, if he wants, the problem he rarely wants” – agreed

      • Barco great talent btw, his close control is mind-blowing. Bolivia beats Peru with two goals, Venezuela plays a draw with this Uruguay, will we eliminate from this weak group?

15. And our fullbacks definitevely are not good

    • Valenzuela’s crosses…

16. We are the better team as far. Argentina need calm down in defence

17. Torres was active and good from beginning

18. Torres, nicely done!

    • Golazoo!

19. Mansilla is iritating again

    • Mansilla is not the biggest problem, the midfield our weakest link, not the attacking section, talented guys one by one, they just suffer from the deficit of the build up, and combinative, quick thinker mindfielders, i will never love Ascacibar, so meh in everything which is not defending.

      • Ahat about me: I was never impressed by Lautaro Martinez

        • Martinez seems to me a more technical, much more creative Gio Simeone or Icardi. A striker who knows how to score goals, but can play the game too.

          • For me he is like lazy Aguero

    • Btw what gives Ascacibar for the team? Offensively absolute nothing, dominance-wise nothing too, zero impact forward, makes the midfield imbalance, cannot control any game, and the defending of the team still shit with him just like in Olympics. Then? We need Busquets or Kroos-type DMs a la modern football.

      • It’s not about Ascacibar. I think the second CM should be more attacking one while I don’t see. In this match Ascacibar is not attacking one, indeed. But He was against Peru. Did you saw that game?

        • Yes, i rewatch every game from YT, my links are so shit live.

20. Again the same shitty pitch?

21. Aguero has not been able to score a single goal against a team that currently resides in the Premier League’s top-seven this season..!!

22. “Aside from Sergio Romero reportedly saying no thanks to Boca Juniors, Jose Mourinho has confirmed neither of his GKs are for sale”

23. Link for the game?

24. Chicco over Ojeda probably a good idea but why is Conechny not starting over Rodriguez?

    • Conechny should play. I think Lucas Rodriguez was our weakest link in last game.
      Uruguay might be toughest rival there.

      • No kidding, we are 1 down already
