Nicolas Gonzalez scores twice for Stuttgart as Bundesliga promotion nears

Nicolas Gonzalez scored twice for Stuttgart in their 6-0 win vs. Nuremberg with the team practically sealing promotion to the Bundesliga next season.

Gonzalez scored Stuttgart’s fourth goal of the match, a flying header which beat the goalkeeper. The Argentine wasn’t done there as he would add one more. Now at 5-0, Gonzalez would score with a lovely left footed shot from inside the penalty area.

He has continued to impress since the start of the break. The Argentina man has scored 8 goals in his last 8 matches and is the highest scorer this season at the club with 14 and three assists. Still only 22 years old, Gonnzalez will be one to watch not only in the Bundesliga next season but potentially for the Argentina national team.

This result all but confirms that Stuttgart will be playing in the first division next season. They currently sit second in the table and are 3 points ahead of Heidenheim who are in third place. However, Stuttgart have a goal difference which is superior to that of Heidenheim’s by 11, which means it would take something dramatic to see them failing to qualify.

Emiliano Buendia spoke about wanting to play with the Argentina national team.

Buendia, currently a regular im the Norwich starting eleven, has impressed during the season and many have been wanting to see him called to the Argentina national team. He has already represented Argentina at youth level and speaking with AS, here’s what he had to say:

“I see it as a real option. It’s a dream talking about it. I was lucky to wear the shirt at the U20 World Cup (in New Zealand in 2015) and the truth is that thinking about doing the same thing with the senior team makes me anxious. It’s what I work for every day.”

Still only 23 years old, Buendia has played for Getafe but is optimistic about his time with Norwich.

“I have to do things well with my club and after that I’ll have the opportunity. Hopefully things go well for me in order to be called up sooner rather than later.

“One always aspires to reach the highest level, at the best teams in the world and in terms of international, to play with the national team.”
