Argentina coach Lionel SCALONI has put out an eleven in training on Monday which had captain Nicolas TAGLIAFICO, Gio LO CELSO and Gonzalo MARTINEZ.
In the last training session ahead of the match against Colombia on Tuesday night, coach Lionel SCALONI tried out a different eleven from the one that was tried over the weekend. Here was the eleven in training from Monday:
ARMANI; BUSTOS, PEZZELLA, FUNES MORI, TAGLIAFICO; BATTAGLIA, LO CELSO; MEZA, DYBALA, MARTINEZ; ICARDI
This means that Nicolas TAGLIAFICO comes in for Marcos ACUNA (who played as left back over the weekend), Giovani LO CELSO for Leandro PAREDES and Gonzalo MARTINEZ over Franco CERVI.
A.Correa should start in …he deserve a start…against Colombia it’s going to be a very tough game…each and every players should be given hard runs…..
Want to see icardi dybala scoring goals
Locelso Paredes mastering the midfield
But it’s not so easy
I want to see more of what we saw Friday and the defense tested, especially Rulli who never impressed me and NO, playing against Mighty Guatemala does NOT count.
Typical interview with new player with journalist asking Battaglia about Messi comeback as if they have to play without coach:
“Ojalá que vuelva porque lo estamos esperando y sabemos lo que significa para el seleccionado”

Battaglia, believe me, it will be better for you if you will have depend on your own for now.
You can feel the fear of being without a super talent… Argentina has been so used to being bred to the saviour mantra, they just can’t deal without it. Hilarious and sad.
Long time I see the absurd going on
I feel Paredes should have stayed.
I think Bustos should have played against Guatemala and Saravia/Di Placido against Colombia. Bustos is better than Saravia in attack but Saravia is no doubt better on defence.
In last game of Colombia against Venezuela I saw Cuadrado attacking often on left flank. He is one of main threats. If I had to choose I could take Saravia to mark Cuadrado. The Colombiano may take also right flank and here Tagliafico is better choice than Acuna to put press on him.
First of all Argentina need to stop maybe one of the best playmakers on the world currently (probably best in South America) – Juan Quintero from River Plate. The Colombia tactic looks simply to some degree as the ball usually pass through Quintero and when he gets the ball there’s always immediately a movement somwhere there in forward line. The attacking players know he will pass them. Quintero prefers more right side of midfield. There it will be: Tagliafico, Battaglia/Lo Celso and maybe Pity Martinez (if the line up above will start) who must put the pression on Quintero. I’ve said Pity Martinez for some reason. Maybe Scaloni want gives the chance to Pity for some personal rivalry he has with Quintero. I mean Pity recently in River is usually coming from bench as Quintero stroke with great form.

Shifted to 4-3-3…?
Rulli should also come in…why we need to use Armani..?
True. Armani was awful in the WC!!
i don’t understand why the hell farmer meza is doing here, biglia should feel proud
Icardi should be the captain
No, that would a farmer thing to do
icardi is born leader, Ramos and cr7 type mentality
Christina is no leader, let one of her teammates not pass her the ball or dare ask to take a FK or GOD forbid a PK away from her 0) and see what happens.
She likes to hear herself talk, look up at the the jumbotron to make sure she is on it and for the morons from the media to lap that shit up.
Captain my ass.
Was he born in 1987 😛
Yup, definitely that would be farmer choice 🙂
Not sure his place in the team. Let him earn his place first.
After messi its icardi to carry Argentina, except Aguero Messi Dybala and Icardi no world class player from Argentina where Aguero Messi 30+ and Dybala has week mentality therefore Icardi is the only hope
Dybala weak mentality…:-)
Good changes. Prefer this compared to the last training lineup.
I would like to see Ascacibar, Paredes and Lo Celso in midfield as well as Dybala and Icardi in attack. Everything else up to Scaloni.
Ascacibar, Paredes, Lo Celso, Battaglia with Dybala and Icardi in attack.
I think that’s a bit of an overkill, but that’s just me. Maybe towards the end of the game to protect the lead?
not enough quick playmakers – 1 of ascacibar or battaglia. Palacios instead of either.
Expect Meza and Armani this line up looks good, Corera and Rulli should be in the line up
