  1. Medina has been getting chances to the national team. But he has been underwhelming when it comes to both defence and attack. Tagliafico is at least excellent in defence and Acuna was very good in both. Hope, he stands out this time if he gets playing time.

  2. Is Balerdi left footed or is he playing in Marseille as RCB and can he play also as LCB or if right footed and more of an RCB will Scaloni, then be playing Ota for 180 min’s plus, though Medina can play as LCB or LB if I’m not mistaken…? And Tagli too, but I can’t really see Scaloni playing with back 3 as there are not, that many who can play as wingback’s and only Tagli and Molina come to my mind…

    Puzzeled about why not Senesi too and also replacement for Nico too…?
