Lionel Scaloni’s dilemma for the World Cup squad: Emi Buendia or Gio Lo Celso.

I would prefer Emi Buendía over Lo Celso on any given day, but if the choice is between these two, I am confident that the coaching staff would select Lo Celso due to his strong relationships with Cuti, Ota, Paredes, De Paul, and Messi, which is unfortunate.
1. relationship with key players 2. missed the last WC due to an injury 3. He can play in 3 men midfield (against the ball) unlike Buendia 4. won us the Copa final with Lautaro 5. more versatile 6. always performs in NT (just like De Paul)
Lo Celso vs Buendia is a no brainer for coaching staff, but Buendia is not Lo Celso’s position, he fights with wingers.
It appears that Lo Celso may not have an opportunity to join the midfield trio. It is anticipated that Paredes, Alexis, and Enzo will be the starting players, with De Paul, Palacios, Almada, and Nico Paz also being considered ahead of him.
Almada and Paz (+Buendia) will never play in “midfield 3” (Paz is mainly Messi’s backup). Almada/Buendia/Nico Gonzalez left winger maximum with 3 midfielders, Paz/Simeone same just right winger/midfielder with 3 midfielders.
Exactly my words… and not like others I think Lo Celso is important for us he is super creative and great with assists
I told some members before that cuz of him we won the last Copa
Lo Celso. Proven in Argentine squad. Buendia is not proven. He does great things for Ashton Villa. But Scaloni has his unique way of approaching a game. Lo Celso fits that scheme better.
Juan Musso should be our number 2
No issues
Need him fully fit in the wc opener against Algeria
