Argentina goalkeeping legend Sergio GOYCOCHEA was on the radio where he discussed Lionel MESSI and the Argentina National Team.

GOYCOCHEA only had positive things to say about River Plate’s Franco ARMANI but did hint that Esteban ANDRADA of Boca Juniors is one to keep an eye out on. Talking about the change going on in the Argentina team with Ataque Futbolero, here’s what GOYCOCHEA had to say:

“The only one you can include in it (the change) is MESSI.

“The change is good, if we are talking about a process, you should go with young players because in four years, the one’s that are now 30 years old and in good form will cost you later on.

“If there is a project, you have to go with it, no matter the results.”

On the topic of Franco ARMANI, GOYCOCHEA said this:

“ARMANI is in good form and for that reason he deserves to be in the Argentina National Team. ANDRADA (Boca Juniors goalkeeper) is doing well with Boca, he has a lot of personality, watch out for him.

“If ARMANI maintains this form, he could be the goalkeeper in 2022 in Qatar.”

In regards to Argentina coach Lionel SCALONI:

“I like the way SCALONI dealt with DYBALA. I don’t like that no one used the 10 shirt of Argentina. The shirt is bigger than the names.”
