Good to see some new names being repeated. Almada, Paz, Buonanotte. Feeling at home with the team is important before hitting the bigger stage.
Scaloni swore never to call Alan Varela no matter what and still insists on picking Pezella.
That’s sad and demoralizing
It’s sad that he is still not only picks likes pezzella, OT and montiel but he see them integral part on his plans.
I kinda knew when pezzella chose to go river plate because he knew he will have still a big chance to for the nt and turned to be true. I’m afraid he will be our next Armani till next world cup and I hope that isn’t the case .
Why Scaloni still not believing Senesi..!
Anyway, as a defender Scaloni himself know what quality a defender wants for the team.!
I have told you guys a while ago scaloni and his coaching Staff were following Enzo Barrenechea because he is kind profile player scaloni likes tall, good on the possession deep laying playmaker not a destroyed like varela he is similar profile to leo paredes.
Very disappointed for non selection of
Alan verela
Marcos Senesi
Pablo maffeo
Julio Soler or valentin barco
I agree with you especially marcos senesi
Varella, Soule, Senesi, A. Correa should be included. Gazzaniga also deserves a call up.
