Argentina U23 coach Fernando Batista has apparently an eleven in mind for the first friendly match vs. Japan.
Preparation for the Olympic games are under way with a friendly match against host nation Japan. Per a report by TyC Sports, Argentina U23 coach Fernando Batista will reportedly field the following eleven:
Jeremías Ledesma; Hernán De la Fuente, Nehuen Pérez, Nazareno Colombo, Milton Valenzuela; Santiago Ascacibar, Santiago Colombatto; Fernando Valenzuela, Matías Vargas, Agustín Urzi; Adolfo Gaich.
The match is at 7:00am in Buenos Aires which is 8:00am Eastern (New York time) and 5:00am Pacific in Los Angeles.
Gaich used his height adventage to the fullest to scored a header 😀
That’s 2 winning goals from him in a week.
just watching the match between argentina u23 and japan ,i think our team is a rubbish.
this argentina u23 is very very weak.only 20% ball possession .japan is far more better , i think only gaich and nahuel perez are promising .
Batista is not given the team he wants . Still they win today. Japan is a very good team & extremely focused on Olympics. So i think we did our best within the limitations. Only Ledesma ( now ) , Perez , Gaich & maybe Vargas/ Urzi/ Fernando Valenzuela will be starters if Batista has his way & AFA pushes clubs to release players. He virtually had U20 subs today
Two Santiagos and two Valenzuelas, vamos Argentina!
lich, cuti Romero, lmq and Senesi
Are all better than otamendi in my opinion
But scaloni trust the guy solely because he is good in the air. but that isn’t enough to keep him in the squad
Otamendi’s marking or his concentrating level isn’t good compare with his age and amount of high level games he played and he supposed be experience one right
he so rushy and will committed a lot fouls
Which can lead easy penalties he hasn’t got pace either. I don’t see anything good about him that is me.
Everyone else is entitled on thier opinion
My point is this if Otamendi is the best defender available for Argentina than they can forget winning copa let it a lone world Cup.
Sensei is slow everyone knows it, Lisandro Martinez is too short what he will do in corners and in free kicks they are major part of games for conceding and scoring goals. His ball playing is good but other defenders also have that skill. Pezella and LMQ are good but constantly conceding goals in Serie A matches. So Argentina have C. Romero,Otamendi and Foyth for Center Back options,they are top 3 material for right now
Senesi isn’t that slow it’s myth keep accusing he is slow if that is the case why teams like ac Milan seville napoli even leeds who plays high defence line target him to buy this summer
Senesi has physical structure to be top defender.
It had to do with his father. Diego Klimowicz played in Germany for many years. Poland asked him to represent them but he denied hoping for a call up from AFA but he never got one. Mateo might have spent years as a kid in Germany, which might have influenced his decision as well. In any case, a loss for Argentina.

This world cup going to be very tough many teams have world class player at almost every position. England,Spain,France,Belgium,Germany have world class player in almost every position. Even Turkey and Ukraine are looking good.
Playing for Germany being an Argentine is traitorous beyond imagination and Mateo Klimowicz is guilty of that… Don’t know, I am hating him…
I’m very sad to hear about that it’s break my heart.But klimowicz’s point of view – AFA does not give him chance & he wants to play & the opportunity catch by Germany very beautifully..I think AFA should have give him chance to convince him & it still available. I think he still eligible to represent Argentina senior team…AFA it’s time to convince him❤️❤️❤️❤️
I think that Afa are the real traitors, Germany are probably laughing with how easily they got him.
How is afa traitors when germany banned players for travelling outside of Europe. Batista cant do anything if clubs dont release their players. Remember why the qualifiers are postponed
Then how is Ascacibar playing if he is in Hertha?
England and German league players required 10 day quarantine if they travel outside of europe.. so maybe Hertha dont mind Ascacibar taking 10 days off.
i don t know that for sure but from his last name he probably will have German roots from his grandfathers etc
so maybe it is not so surprice to choose Germany. anyhow i wish him luck with his new country. i don t want we force anyone to choose Argentina over one other country.
or you feel or you feel not to be with our country.
Personally inside mundo i have see here people that they are more Argentines than this so called “Argentine” that choose Germany.
