Matías Soulé has stated that he wants to play for the Argentina national team.
Soulé confirmed that he does not want to play with Italian national team but with the world champions. Matías Soulé’s agent stated at the start of the month that 22 year old is eligible to playing with Italy and hinted that it could be a possibility.
Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni spoke at a press conference on Monday about Matías Soulé, stating that he is on the Argentina national team’s radar. Matías Soulé spoke to Il Messaggero, here is what he had to say:
“I want to play for Argentina. I’m very grateful to Italy, but I want to keep working to earn a call-up from Lionel Scaloni.
“I understand it’s not easy because there are so many great players available, but that’s my goal.”
Yes but can he meet the very high standards AFA? Like can he turn into a coyote during full moon like Otamendi? Or be Scaloni’s doppelganger like the great Franco Armani?
Those are kind of abilities that we need, not mundane things like footballing skill or form.
