Santiago Castro scored for Bologna in the 2-2 draw against Fiorentina at the Artemio Franchi Stadium on Matchday 8 of Serie A.
The 21-year-old opened the scoring in the 24th minute with a powerful right-footed volley inside the box. The goal gave Bologna an early lead and earned praise for the former Vélez Sarsfield striker, who continues to gain confidence in Serie A.
Martinez, RB, Cuti, CB, LB, Enzo, MacAllister, CM, Messi, Alvarez, LF/RF ! There are 4 positions in the team that could use new players! So far Scaloni is indicating his tried and tested players will be playing in these positions. For the LF/RF forward, depending on who the opponent will be I highly doubt he will play both Lautaro and Julian once the knockouts begins! Nico, Alamada, Paz and Mastantuono are all capable of playing the 3rd forward/ attacking mid role! But our defense needs reinforcements and no new CBs and FBs have convinced the fans or the team management.
Looks like Tagliafico is almost certain but we dont have a back up. Soler could be tried but he is still not ready for NT.
Molina and Montiel neither are good anymore. Gorosito could be tried. Foyth is there but Scaloni does not trust him. Almada can easily be the AM. If Messi does not play, Almada can give us the creativity.
Panichelli is peaking at the right time.. I think he will be called up and will make the squad if he continues like this. However on the midfield, Buendia is really doing well now. He is a creative player but also runs a lot, does his defensive duties as well. Not too old. He should be at his peak physically. Does anyone here think he can replace Depaul? Is it possible to have a midfield trio of Enzo, Mac and Buendia? If we want to be defensive then may be replace one with Paredes or may be Equi or another DM. I mean depaul will definitely be in the squad, but can this be an alternative?
Buendia is doing good. He can play in Mid with Mac and Enzo but its still too early to think permanently. I believe we are going to have more candidates. That being said I do want Scaloni to give Buendia a chance and try him out. I think when Almada cones back we may see 4:4:2 occasionally. The kid is creative and have been good for NT. Panichelli on the other hand deserve a straight call up. He is clearly better than everyone we tried so far barring Julian and El Toro.
And Panichelli scored again. This guy is not a fluke. He is a real threat in the box. Ariel or ground. 6’3” monster targetman or a poacher. We need him. He reminds me of a lil bit of Bati. We dont have anyone like him in NT right now. Lautaro and him are close but still different. Barco is playing good in the mid too. They are making me to watch Ligue 1.
