The Argentina U20 national team won 4-3 against Uruguay with Claudio Echeverri and Maher Carrizo each scoring twice.
Diego Placente’s team lead in the final stage of the South American Youth Championship as they have six points after their win against Uruguay. Argentina and Brazil are tied in first place, each with a plus two goal difference with the advantage going to Argentina due to scoring more goals.
Maher Carrizo also assisted both of Claudio Echeverri’s goals and Claudio Echeverri assisted one of Carrizo’s goals. Argentina play Colombia on Monday and a win could seal their qualification to the U20 World Cup.
Diablito is a talent that’s for sure but he’s nowhere near the NT level IMO, the likes of Paz, Garnacho, Soule (despite his limited playing time right now) and few others are well ahead of him. Now if next season he hits the ground running with Mancity then it’s another story.
Paz is the best. Diablito already surpassed Garnacho and Soule. For me if Diablito can free from injury, he can be next ballon d’or contender from argentina.
Mamoun I am very impressed with 2 players and must be in Senior level regularly. Simeone and Paz are ahead. Echeverri is very promising and his time with Man City could be crucial.
Oh yeah Simeone is a beast, not the most technically gifted player around but boy does he put in the work, a real warrior type like Mascherano, De Paul and his papi Simeone Sr.
Come to think of it, when it comes to talent, things are looking good for Argentina in the coming years. The aforementioned Paz, Garna, Soule, Simeone and Diablito in addition to Dominguez and castro at Bologna, Beltrán and his versatility at Fiorentina, Almada, Varela (despite the recent drop in form) and Perrone (Paz’s partner in crime who doesn’t get enough hype).
Things are looking good for our albicelestes and hopefully Placente continues to develop and take the reigns from Scaloni in the near future.
Echeverri should be included in the senior squad as a promising star! He surely will learn a lot from Messi. I see similarity btwn their style!
If i remember well Echeverri already trained with the team before the WC in Qatar to learn.
Agree with you, he must be promoted to the senior squad.
