Agustín Giay spoke about wanting to play with the Argentina national team.
Giay has been the starting right back for Palmeiras and in very good form. Joining them from San Lorenzo last year, the 21 year old has impressed with the Brazilian club. Speaking in an interview with Radio La Red, here is what he had to say:
“Playing for the Argentina National Team is my biggest dream. Every training session, every game, everything I do is with that goal in mind. There’s nothing greater for a player than representing their country, playing in the Copa America and the World Cup. I give my very best at the club so that one day I can make it there.
“The club told me they had received a call and were aware. Of course, that makes you dream a little because that’s where every player wants to be. And honestly, if I said I didn’t get excited, I’d be lying.”
2026 world cup looks like the final round of winning eleven for messi team .Actually I think messi is the big boss of the team not scaloni .
it’s messi team not argentina .you guys don’t know what happen between messi and Pedro de la vega in MLS .
Messi told de la vega .you won’t be selected in NT as long as messi is still playing for argentina national team . That means messi has the power to decide who can be selected . So those players are all Messi s friends .thats why you can see otamendi ,montiel ,de Paul ,still in NT .
Is this bullshit starting again? Scaloni tried at least 50-100 new players under Messi, everyone has chance. De la Vega and NT i hope this is a joke, the guy is not even a regular starter in MLS. Otamendi is one of the very few argentine centre backs who play Champions League football, we have no centre backs on this level.
But scaloni is very conservative. Those youngsters even in the preliminary list won’t get any playing time .
However if you are mastantuono playing for real madrid that’s different that means scaloni only considers your club . So no matter what happen in 2026 world cup I truely believe scaloni must leave together with otamendi ,Molina ,tagliafico ,montiel and of course messi .Di maria is a good example ,leave the team at the right time
I don’t know man, I am surprised to see many comments..yes many comments from you against Mastantuano…! After Mac Allister and Almada now it’s Mastantuano’s turn getting many hate comments here.
At least one thing you should have considered..Real management and scouts are not fools..Xabi is not fool.. Argentina coaching staffs are not fool.. Scaloni is not fool..to trust an 18 years guy. ..even giving him position in starting x1, giving him number 10..! Giving him minutes ahead of big players..
He has the quality..once he settled in Real and NT..you will see a confident Mastantuano..and by experience..this guy can be a super star..
Very capable fullback, solid defensively and offensively and plays regularly for a good team in a strong league. Molina is bench warming these days and Montiel, for all his grit and spirit, is past his sell by date and Giay needs to be called up on the right while Alex Barnebei (one of the best attacking fullbacks in Brazil) needs to be called up on the left.
