The Argentina U20 national team will play Mexico in the quarter finals at the U20 World Cup.
Diego Placente’s team won 4-0 against Nigeria in the Round of 16 at the U20 World Cup in Chile and will play Mexico on Saturday. For the first time since 2011, the Argentina U20 national team will play in a quarter final game at the tournament.
Argentina won 3-1 against Cuba in their opening match of the U20 World Cup. They followed that with a 4-1 win against Australia and a 1-0 win against Italy.
Álvaro Montoro will miss the rest of the U20 World Cup due to a shoulder injury.
Delgado is the best player in this tournament from Argentina. He might be small, but he has all the tools — he’s quick, can dribble, tackle, and pass, and he stays calm under pressure. He’s like Argentina’s Kante.
most of them can represent Italy ,we had lost Retegui and probably Soule. Hopefully a new era begin after next world cup .We need a coach who really know the kid
No matter how far this team may go ,i believe our future may rely on most of them together with some Europe teenagers .Once again Placente is capable of building a good team ,using different tactics . Here is my comment
Maher carrizo : wonder kid ,di Maria type winger .far more better than simeone in future .Really up to my expectation since I followed him at Velez
Sarco : brilliant, Look like another powerful strong Alvarez
Delgado : new Banega just a bit short and physically weak but overall performance is good
Prestianni : New papu Gomez definitely better than montoro
Subiare : Still need to prove himself especially he is slow and physically weak but technically he is good .
Andino : Fast winger look like Nico Gonzalez
Tomas Perez : may be injured but the kid is top class DM
Gorosito : really surprise me with his performance
Barbi: Promisng despite one mistake before
Full backs: tall ,strong ,decent performance
Acuna: a bit disappointed, lack of improvement compared with u17
Montoro : disappointed
Pagano : Promising, skilful LB I prefer him rather than Soler
Soler : Not that good at defense ,average performance
.
Conclusion : Maher Carrizo ,Sarco ,Tomas Perez can directly go to national team .Gorosito ,Pagano ,Andino ,Prestianni,Delgado may need a bit times . our full backs definitely can be sold to Europe . Soler and Montoro are the two need huge improvement
