I mean he only won Serie a player of the month thrice this season. Of course he is not good enough.
Valentin Carboni on the other hand… Oh what a legend.
Dybala is a player I like a lot whom I would’ve loved to sew on the list bit I always had a feeling he would not be included this time even though, it is less of a risk including him now considering we already win the previous Copa and even when he gets picked he barely plays.
Expected Nehuen Perez to be called up
I did too. I’m surprised Montiel and Lisandro Martinez (who barely played all season) has been called up.
So, the list is 29 players. Which three players do you think will be dropped from the list?
I think Barco, Carboni, and Guido won’t make it to the final list.
I think Guido, Angel Correa and of the defenders
It ridiculous to have pezella instead of marcos senesi who is in great form in the current season.. and rulli instead of walter benitez makes no sense..
Dybala not in the list is the biggest surprise wow
Not really he is injury prone not reliable at all
