Valentín Barco, Matías Soulé and Claudio Echeverri do not make the Argentina national team for the October friendly matches.
Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni announced his players for the October friendly matches against Venezuela and Puerto Rico and has not included a few players.
Barco is in very good form for Strasbourg but is not included in the team. The 21 year old has played in all six of Strasbourg’s Ligue 1 matches, playing as a left midfielder, attacking midfielder and central midfielder.
Matías Soulé has two goals and one assist in five league matches with AS Roma but is not included. He is yet to play a match with the Argentina national team.
Claudio Echeverri was included in the Argentina national team for the September World Cup qualifiers but misses out for the October friendly matches.
Enzo Barrenechea also misses out. With Benfica, he has played six league matches, five as a defensive midfielder and one as a central midfielder.
Valentín Carboni was called up in September for the World Cup qualifiers but is not included in the matches for October. His last match witht the Argentina national team was at the 2024 Copa America.
Julio Soler was also part of the September World Cup qualifying team but he is with the Argentina U20 national team for the U20 World Cup.
NT lacks speed. Get rid of gonzalez (can’t forget his disgraceful play acting vs Ecuador in Copa). Scaloni should call up Garnacho. In EPL 23-24 season, Garnacho was the 3rd fastest player. Source: http://www.premierleague.com/en/news/4107032
Yes, he misses alot, and his decisions making is bad, but he is the x factor. His speed reminds me of Cannigia
Messi’s through ball meets Garnacho, who then puts the ball into the box for Álvarez/Lautaro, who in turn scores a golazo. Goooooool!
Unless someone outside of the squad steps up and forces his way into the team , we are headed to the world cup with Acuna, Montiel, Molina and Tagliafico as our FBs. Acuna and Tagliafico have lost significant pace and Molina has been in an extended painful form since the mid of last season and there is no light for him at the end of tunnel under Cholo. Montiel has been a big flop in Europe. If we play a team with fast wingers like France or Spain or even Portugal then I highly doubt our fullbacks can keep them shut the whole 90mins. Feels like 2018 all over again!
We beat Brazil with the most pacy wingers itw day and night. Fast wingers cant compensate the huge IQ difference in the midfield. France midfield even weaker than Brazil midfield.
