Argentina U20 team named for South American Youth Cup

1. Was hoping benjamin garre in the lineup

2. Hope to catch some games. I qm a big fan of Almada and Maxi Romero. Lets see what de la vega can do. Barco, Balerdi, Almendra.

   • I guess the favourites are uruguay and brazil is same level as Argentina and behind them venezuela

3. Four CFs is too many. Lack of wingers and defensive midfielders

   • Julian Alvarez plays rather SS in River, 4 DM/ZM is not enough? Vera, Insaurralde, Santiago Sosa, Almendra…is Moreno an attacking midfielder?

     • I’m talking about No.5. Only Vera and Insaurralde are type of No.5 Almendra, Moreno are not No.5. Rather box to box. So had played during COTIF as well. Also Sosa from River is more offensive even as volante (read here:https://www.goal.com/es/noticias/quien-es-santiago-sosa-la-nueva-apuesta-de-gallardo-en-river/1y0d1sjfgyw3w1n8oosydy3a1h)

       Julian Alvarez is striker. Borre was the SS. Alvarez may play SS but not as winger. I’ve said this team lack of wingers.

       • Of course in this age every player might be adapted to slightly different position. That’s more doable with these CMs but harder with forwards to make them wingers. 4 strikers is too many. 2-3 optimal.

         • 4 strikers is unnecessary: DM-ZM—Almada/Alvarez-Barco/Moreno-De La Vega/Almada—CF

         • 3 LBs and only 1 RB (Mura)? Barquett and Lautaro Morales CB’s?

         • If I remember correnctly Barquett may play also RB. Morales is GK. But as you’ve said here is 3 LBs (Pereyra, Ortega, Medina) and again not enough CBs unless Batista will adapt one of the fullbacks to the role.

         • Anyway it doesn’t looks completely balanced unless Batista have his own idea for switching some players to new positions.
