Julián Álvarez, Emiliano Martínez and Nicolás Otamendi will be the three overage players for Argentina at the Olympics.
Argentina Olympic coach Javier Mascherano now has his three overage players for the Olympics in France. According to Ariel Senosiain, the three players over the age of 23 which will represent Argentina at the Olympic games will be Julián Álvarez, Emiliano Martínez and Nicolás Otamendi.
Two names that will be going to the Olympics are Lucas Beltrán and Alan Varela, with both Fiorentina and FC Porto authorizing them to join the team. Argentina are also making progress with Enzo Fernandez to get him to be with the team in France.
wow. that is quite a strong squad getting ready to take over Paris. Masche seems winning the 1st round of securing good players unlike recent Olympics coaches. Olympics team size is normally 18 players. Assuming Masche also gets Enzo F as getting reported , team can end up like below:
Dibu
Giay-Otamendi-Valentini-Barco
Varela – Enzo Fernandez
Soule-Almada-Alvarez
Beltran
Subs: Brey(GK), Lujan, Quiros ( Defense) , Ezequeil Fernandez, Kevin Zenon ( Midfield), Echeveri ( AM), Luciano Gondou ( CF)
Quiros & Lujan can be the left/right back up .
The one big risk is Barco being released by Brighton & that looks very tough.
Wow, looking forward to watch Dibu vs the ninja turtle part 2.
Anybody knows here why Dybala was not selected?
Dybala should’ve been picked instead of Alvarez since he’s not going to the Copa America.
Wait..to watch the match..? Come on man…if he’s not fit for Copa..how come he’s fit for Olympics..?
