Nicolás González has chances to start for Argentina against England at the World Cup.
Gonzalez could be in the starting eleven for Argentina. According to Gastón Edul, González has chances to start in place of Enzo Fernández or Rodrigo De Paul.
Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni spoke at a press conference and stated that there could be some changes to the team.
Nico is a player of minimum skills he will run and loose the ball which will lead to counter attack , Argentina can’t stop counters of pacy players of England.
Why doesn’t scaloni start Barco or Lo celso in the left side.
I would rather prefer to have RDP who can shield the RB and has that south american grit in him, than haveing Enzo who has been largely ineffective.There is literally no point in replacing RDP with Palacios who is kind of version 2 of RDP, where as if Simeone can start in place of RDP then the entire dynamic changes. Simeone is RW who can shield RB too.
I was in such a state of tension, confusion and shock after the last match that I didn’t even feel like commenting after that. Of course, I was very happy in the end that we won, but also very concerned with the way we played during much of the normal time when Switzerland dominated majority of the normal time. In fact, Switzerland were dominating even till 5-10 minutes after the red card, after which we slowly started to regain control. Of course, we played very well in the extra time. During extra time we had 6 attackers(Lautaro, Lopez, Alvarez, Messi, Almada and Gonzalez), 1 connecting midfielder(Maca) and 3 defenders(Lisandro, Montiel and Otamendi). We essentially threw the kitchen sink at them.
So now I finally came back to comment before the big match against England. I am not even going to dissect that earlier match and give advices, even if I do have many ideas and suggestions. I just hope that we win. To me this match against England is even more of a final than the final, because if we win we are at least in the finals and Spain is the least dislikable opponent among the 3. However, if we lose we not only lose against old foes who will continue their annoying “coming home” slogans, but we also move on to 3rd place match against a team that we already beat last time. It will be pretty bad if we lose. On the other hand, if we win today I will say this world cup was at least a partial success for us.
So my only wish at the moment is that we should at least win this coming big game against England. Yes, we should play good football and win.
I think scaloni have brain damage. Nico Gonzales is a bench warmer at Atletico when Simeone plays every game and perform one of the best for the team… I think this guy doesn’t care about form and select players based on nostalgia at this point
