Alejo Sarco spoke about the Argentina U20 national team’s 3-1 win against Cuba at the U20 World Cup.
Sarco scored two goals for Argnetina in their first match in Chile. The first goal from close range and the second a header with Ian Subiabre scoring the other goal for Argentina. Speaking after the match, here is what Sarco had to say:
“I’m very pleased, very happy. It was very important to start with a win and luckily we managed to pull it off.
“We were down a man for a long time, but we knew how to handle it and gave it our all on the pitch.”

In every youth tournament Argentina lost because of defense and goalkeeping errors. This U-20 also in 1st match same problem. Already 1 player red carded. Another thing I noticed lack of heights of our defenders. Despite being in charge of long period placente failed to find tall defender for this tournament. Remember Argentina struggle in south America U-20 tournament earlier due to short heights against physically strong team like Colombia, Ecuador and Paraguay etc. Also I don’t understand why our coaches select 7 defender instead of 8 in big tournament.
