Javier Mascherano has commented on winning the MLS Cup with Inter Miami.
Mascherano joined Inter Miami last year after coaching both the Argentina U20 and Argentina U23 national teams. The Argentine failed to win a trophy with his country as coach and after joining Inter Miami, he has coached them to their first MLS Cup and also lifted his first trophy as coach.
The Argentine spoke to MLS Español after Inter Miami’s 3-1 win against Vancouver in the MLS Cup. Here is what he had to say:
“I understand that since I arrived there were always doubts because it was my first season as a team coach. I always told the truth and never hid it: I haven’t had very good results at the youth team level, it wasn’t working out for me.
“I think I found a group of players who understood our way of working, tried to accompany them in this process, and obviously I’m very happy. Finishing the season this way is incredible.”
Hello Albiceleste members,I am new here but have been following argentina since 2010 but have read all the comments before and after 2022 fifa world cup,really glad to be a part of good and constructively critical discussions among La albiceleste members..
Regarding recent squad:Lo celso has still an important role as a sub. I doubt him as a starter but still very important in terms of a sub.
And scaloni should consider garnacho or dybala instead of mastantuono.
And licha has time to get into his full form considering his long term injury, 1 months prior to world cup will be crucial for squad selection.
Welcome De, glad to have you.
As for Lo Celso, well I love the guy and he’s a heck of a talent but at this point sadly I don’t even think he’s good enough to be a sub. The kid is made of glass and I don’t think he can be even relied on to come off the bench.
Dybala is another legit talent that I love but I his case is the same as Lo Celso’s, he’s way too injury prone to be relied on. Next year’s world cup is unique in the sense that a team will need to play 8 games to win the cup, which is one more than it’s been since 1974, 2 more than it’s been since 1970 and double the amount it’s been since 1938! Meaning that fitness is essential because 8 games in a span of a month is no small feat and to be honest Argentina has plenty of options in the front and the midfield and don’t need to rely on injury prone players.
Aarón Anselmino, Marcos Senesi, and Juan Foyth have demonstrated exceptional performance. Foyth, in particular, has established himself as a highly reliable center-back for Villarreal. Senesi delivered a commendable performance in yesterday’s match against Chelsea. Aarón Anselmino is proving to be a revelatory talent at Dortmund, and should he maintain his current form, I anticipate he will secure a position in the national team, potentially replacing Leonardo Balerdi. Regarding Lisandro Martinez, I do not foresee him returning to his previous level of play.
Lo celso shouldn’t in the nt squad at all he is waste of space if i been honest
My choice is Aaron Anselmino. I would pick him inplace of balerdi.
I think Anselmino is already one of the best defender of the world….
Scaloni’s pecking order for midfielders & defenders. I don’t think he has madeup his mind when it comes to the third midfielder and second CB, howeverif Lichacan stay fit and picks up form in a United then he should be pairing Cuti. Fortunately we have comparatively easy first 3 games to decide the starting xi in the knockouts.
Midfielders:
Macalister
Enzo
Depaul
Paredes
Locelso
Palacios
Defenders:
Cuti
Ballerdi
Otamendi
Senesi
Licha
Foyth
You forget most important midfield for the nt
Thaigo almada
I know Almada is regarded as a midfielder during squad announcements but the guy is a forward in the NT, it would be a stretch to even call him a winger let alone a midfielder.
