Sporting director Michael Preetz said this about the defensive midfielder:

Argentina national team player database updated, full caps, goals, more

As we enter 2020, the Mundo Albiceleste Argentina database is up to date for the last year.

Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni used 45 players in 2019 and we have the full list with player profiles. I personally have been working on the database for over 10 years and we have over 200 player profiles. From current to previous players, from goals scored at youth level to senior level.

If you look at Lionel Messi‘s profile, you will see he has scored a goal for Argentina in 14 straight years. For Sergio Aguero, it’s 13 years.

We have all the Argentina goals scored from Abel Balbo to Gabriel Batistuta to Javier Saviola. As for another Javier, this time Javier Zanetti, we have a full list of all his Argentina matches and goals scored. The database is constantly being updated, make sure to give us a look!
