Angel Correa scored twice for Atletico Madrid in their 2-0 win against Rayo Vallecano.

Correa got his first two goals of the new year in Atletico’s win. With the score at 0-0, the ball was sent into the penalty area and it was Correa who got to it and scored to give Atletico the 1-0 lead.

The Argentine would make it 2-0 as a low pass was sent into the penalty area which found Correa who scored. The 26 year old is now on six goals in the league this season.

      • Yeah a few players are missing the match either through injury or suspension. But what is interesting is to see how Acuna is gonna do in his new role for this game. Although I’m a Valencia fan I watch Sevilla nowadays more than Valencia, truth be told. This team has become the favourite of every Argentina supporter.

  1. Happy new year to all, I think Griezmann’s come back to Atletico was a mistake. During the last 6 months of the season 20-21, Simeone found the right formula with Angel Correa as 2nd striker, supported by Lemar-Carrasco and to me, he was the best player of this club during that period of 6 months and made them win the title. This year they replaced Saul by a world class midfielder De Paul and signed the young talented Cunha to backup Suarez, which was supposed to bring the team to the another level. But Griezmann arrived, he reduced Correa’s playing time or forced him to play as right winger, additionally he likes to play in De Paul’s zone and so De Paul need to play in a different role and in a different position than he used to. I have high respect for Griezmann for what he achieved but he is no more the player that he used to be. There is really no point to sign a player like De Paul and then use him in this way.

  2. Happy New Year!

    I hope that 2022 brings us even more joy in football than last year.

    I think what we have seen through the Scaloni cycle, especially lately, our pillars are Emi Martinez, Romero, De Paul and of course Messi. Remove any of those players and suddenly it’s much harder to accomplish our tasks. Di Maria has proved many (including me) wrong and he is also important but I think he still is less indispensible than others I mentioned.

    So for me going forward it is Emi, Romero, De Paul, Messi + 7 other players. A little simplistic perhaps but that’s how I see the NT.

    An ideal situation by the time of the WC would be mant different players in many positions in good form and for Scaloni to have a selection problem, that woud be a nice dilemma to have.

    I still think Ocampos, Nico Gonzales, Angel and Joaquin Correa are competing for the same spot. Not sure if Dybala is going to make it to be honest. Buendia and Foyth seem to be on the fringes now but who knows what happens in a few months.

    • Happy new year Enganche. I think in addition to the 4 players that you mentioned, the spine may also include Otamendi, Paredes and Lautaro Martinez. Scaloni seems to like someone experienced in defense, a regista to control the tempo and a striker who works hard and runs for the team. So I think they will be always in the 11. I see Di Maria as Messi’s sub or the 3nd midfielder along with Paredes and De Paul as there is no full satisfaction from Lo Celso and Angel is quite limited as left winger at his age.

      Yeah I think the competition for the role of left winger will be tough, seems Nico Gonzalez in pole position. Ocampos comes back strongly. I think Scaloni prefers a player like Julian Alvarez as 2nd option. Angel Correa and Joaquin Correa may be more like a 2nd striker by nature. Their little playing time with the national team show that Scaloni never really counted on them.

      I am fan of Dybala but with the time pass, I think unfortunately he may never be be part of Scaloni’s plan. I like Buendia and Foyth, also think that Lanzini, Ocampos, Medina and Walter Benitez should have their chance.

  3. Waveride my friend always very very happy to see you here.

    as about the subject about the vaccines you speak with my other friend Dfox allow me to share some personal experience. i am not doctor and i am not so familiar with medical things.
    i know 3 people that died from covid and they was fully vaccined. i also know 2 neighbors of mine that die after vaccined. the 1st it was 1 woman that 4 hours after she take the 1st dose she died. the 2nd it was again 1 woman that she die 5 days after the 1st dose. Both they start to not feel good right after they take 1st dose just they die different period.

    i am not against vaccines. i should be clear on that. Just i believe before somebody vaccined about covid he/she should first do some exams about theur personal health and after if things is well he/she should vaccined.

    in same time things is simple and clear. those who are vaccined and those who are not both they can be sick and both they can pass the virus to others. so who he wants he can take the risk to vaccined and those who want can take the risk to not vaccined.
    the % of risk is not same but it is up to the brain of everybody to decide what is best for him. the sure is that i am strongly against to force somebody do something he/she don t want. Because i learn from my country history (sure something similar happened in many other countrys) that it is very easy to lose your freedom and very difficult to take it back.
    i don t trust nobody unconditionaly.

    • As long as they protect people from COVID I am fine with it however, if you have to take something every six months due to loss of effectivity then its shouldn’t be called a vaccine but a shot, something like flu shots! Vaccines are permanent solutions not temporary!! Also, it looks like we all have to mentally prepare ourselves for getting this covid shot every six months as some countries are already getting their fourth shot and Israel their 5th! My only concern is there won’t be any adverse side effects down the road as these money hungry pharmaceutical companies without any regret will tell everyone ‘back then we were more concerned about saving lives and didn’t have time to do proper research on the side-effects”!!

      • No wonder really that Israel had their 5th shot allready as nothing personal against anyone from Israel, but were they not the first to get fully vaccinated by law, if i remember right….? And were they also at least some of them who are behind and own rigths to some theese vaccines AKA shots, again i’m not against anyone, but as far as people are Still free to choose for themself at least in some countries, (maybe not in every country like example in Israel, i do belive this is the case and please correct if i’m wrong or not on this Israel vaccine matter etc.,,) well until people have their freedom of right to decide with their own brain what would be the best for themselfs as some may also consider others too while making that decission, Stil it is totally their right to decide for themselfs, maybe not in everywhere…, but at least in somewhere and until this freedom exists then it is not the fault of those who are free to choose either way, right as simple as that, offcourse there is much talk about this subject and fuss and fight as allways been, hopefully that too will change one day that this constant fuss and fight will stop to exist as also blody Covid etc.., but no wonder why it would ?

        But as Sula V said in his post :

        Yes, i do recall remembering things similar to this and that have allready happened and i would not be so surprised at all that it would happen again, though this time the biggest difference will be the HIGH LEVEL OF IT…I MEAN A REAL BIG SCORE LINE OR JACKPOT…ETC…CALL IT WHAT EVER OR NAMED IT WHAT EVER AND STILL AS FAR AS SOME HAVE THEIR FREEDOM TO THINK AND DO AS THEY CHOOSE TO DO BEST OR NOT FOR THEMSELFS AND MAYBE ALSO FOR OTHER OR NOT, ANYHOW AS COX 4 SAID :

        in same time things is simple and clear. those who are vaccined and those who are not both they can be sick and both they can pass the virus to others. so who he wants he can take the risk to vaccined and those who want can take the risk to not vaccined.

        Yes nobody has to trust anyone if they choose not and the opposite, well that is everyone’s basic rightneousness, right ? etc…as what come to trust, well unfortunatly i have witnessed things on a personal level about trust, but also on a common level so who do i really trust ? Do i trust the Re-written HIS-STORY or not ?
        Well, that is up to everyone to think and decide with their own brains as Cox 4 explained allready, please do not get me wrong as i’m not against anything or talking about any conspiracy or intrest in conspiracy, no not at all, Ok maybe once i studied things by myself and thought diffently, perhaps, but i did it for purpose to more like Re-search of my own for example to find put about what really went on in around the world during the for example the slavery days as it is common knowledge, but Still there are different and will allways be different stories of it as also from everything else etc..what has happened in the past or somewhere present where u or me where not able to be to witness as person’s..,etc..,well simply i won’t count on things that i have not experienced by myself and that was the main reason why i once travelled through different parts of world to see things with my own eyes and to experience diffent things as culture, language, nature or what ever and i think everyone inteligent enough will understand what i mean as there are many uncertain things Still that humankind has not resolved for example let’s start of why having a constant war on each other as everyone could live with peace or why do others suffer more than others or why some are more richer than others, well it all ends up with our fella AKA money, but please not again do not get me wrong as i’m not saying that let’s just throw the all blody money out of the window or let’s launched it to outer space and let’s have it to float around eternal space etc…

        No, i’m just saying that there could be alternatives to this money matter as offcourse it is hard as everything been build around and Upon money as money being platform to human life, right…pretty much at least, offcourse there are those who can live without it and this makes me wonder as if there are and there truly is some who can live without money then would it be so difficult to bring equal rights to everyone so that everyone could have at least acces to same basic human life as pure water, food and staying healthy as possible etc…why others get just richer and the rest just poorer every day more and more…? Well, the answer again is money, so why those who have real acces to money don’t share it with others and by that give equal rights to everyone…? I bet as i should not bet, though i Still do think that they could Still after that have plenty to spend by their own etc…, but what if there is nothing left on earth to spend it for…? Well, then money suddenly is not worth of anything at all as simple as that !

        This how the world has dealt with for example this constant running pandemic called as Covid variations whatever Greek alphabeth only Omricon should have been named as Omega if i know anything about anything…etc…well quess what i just dont see Still enough effort by those who have acces to that big money as i mean real big money like i never saw them do any effort for the world even before Covid rather just benefitting from everything for themselfs, please again not get me wrong as i’m not saying that Covid is a moneymaker etc..

        No, i’m just wondering when does the Mind of theese mega multi billionaires will change, well no need to answer as i have known this answer as since a kid, so i won’t bet on that either as i would not bet on anything, but i do know that if they would have wanted then they could have at least avoided climate change and save the earth and it’s population from many things, maybe not from Covid, but maybe if they would put a bit more effort and that money that they once created, well maybe that money they once created for to get control of it could actually be used to many positive things instead of constant negativity as war etc…well enough is enough and better just try ignore all their scam and spam and concentrate on someting real as example growing your own food and getting Self-sustainable and be able to at least to try to cut that constant need of money use which ultimatly is very hard process indeed…and offcourse in reality money just won’t dissappear like that or this, no it will Still control our world for ages and nobody knows as for how long or what ever will happen in future as that is not for us to choose unfortunatly in long term, though it should be our basic human right for all humankind to build a better future for everyone, but as long as we are dealing with this money fella etc…, but Still it doesn’t mean that everyone has obey to it as everyone is free to think and decide and should also do that for themselfs and for their loved ones and from here we can jump with light speed to to that point where everyone will be our loved one, period, hopefully one day, maybe…?

        Anyhow after this money burst of mine which i’m sorry for making this post etrnal boring long one again etc.,back to the main topic as called Covid etc…

        Or maybe things will go fine with theese vaccines AKA shots, but as Sula V said many countries are allready on running their 4th shot as Israel up to 5th allready…

        well, in my country we are getting to the 3rd round and so far it has been free for people to TaKe it, but i higly doubt that if we go up to the 5th round in my country as they are allready in Israel, well as people have to pay for Influenza shot at least some of us, maybe not all as i’m not sure of it, but i do know that the one’s who are having Still acces to free Influenza shot in my country do need have quite serious reason for it as they just inform everyone from my kids school that they had to tighter up things and this and that and who will Still be able to get Influenza shot for free etc…well, the list was quite limited as u needed to have quite serious reason to get it as free, so my point is that Still now Covid vaccines AKA shots in my country been free for everyone, but why would they not charge for this in the future as for example every 6 months as they are allready and have allready done that with Influenza shot ?

  4. Lanzini should be called he should play in Left Wing,creative and intelligent players are always needed.Player like Lo celso,Paredes,Lanzini,Papu Gomez are special kind of player for Argentina.

  5. First of all I will wish a somewhat late Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone. A lot happened to our team this year and we finally won a trophy after so long. Can’t believe its almost been six months. My calendar now reads 2022 and now it’s just a matter of counting down months until we see our beloved team in Qatar. Secondly I hope Messi recovers well and I especially hope he doesn’t have complications afterward. I don’t even want to imagine it or say any more. Hopefully he can enjoy his extra week or so in Argentina where I believe he is and get right back at it.

    It also seems that our #10 position is becoming more of a headache every day. Now Mac Allister may be added to the list that already includes Lanzini and Buendia among others. The pecking order seems to be Messi > Dybala > Papu but I can already foresee heated discussions about a potential 4th #10 that gets called up at the expense of many other performing #10s if 28 players are allowed. Let’s brace for it.

    • I don’t think the likes of MacAllister or Lanzini will be considered. Lanzini is doing well for a couple of games but his position is well covered. MacAllister is for me the worst number 10 I have ever seen that has worn the Argentina jersey among all Argentina players. An average player sometimes can have 1-3 good game all season but then they will show their true color, that they only can do that in 1-3 games.

      For me the only new comers that has a chance to be called up are Ocampos and Simeone.

    • That is because Simeone has too many players upfront. He doesnt really trust Correa as one of the 2 starters upfront as he has to compete with many others. Correa can play as right winger is Simeone’s system but that is not his true position.
