The Argentina national team will play Mexico in November in two friendly matches.
As we reported a few weeks ago, Lionel SCALONI’s Argentina will play two final matches to close out the year, both coming in November. Reports have now emerged that the two matches will be held in Cordoba and Mendoza, respectively.
The first one will come on Friday, November 16 with the second on Tuesday, November 20, as stated, both against Mexico.
In Cordoba, it will be at the Mario Alberto KEMPES stadium and the one in Mendoza at the Malvinas Argentina stadium.
Gerardo “Tata” MARTINO looks set to take over as coach of the Mexican National Team as rumors intensify while also giving his thoughts on the Argentina FA.
No stranger to the Argentina national team or the AFA, the current Atlanta United coach gave his thoughts on the AFA. Speaking with Daniel ARCUCCI, here’s what he had to say in regards to the AFA:
“From close, it looks worse. The conditions are far worse, with what Julio GRONDONA’s death represented, it was very logicial that there would be a moment of confusion.”
While he is being very closely linked to coach Mexico, MARTINO himself has not given any indication. In regards to his future, MARTINO said this through a translator when asked:
“Nothing to say. I don’t have to clarify things I haven’t said. This is always the same thing. Whenever there is some news to give, we’ll be sure to tell you. Until then, nothing has changed.
“I don’t have an agent. I have a daughter who handles (my) contract issues. The same daughter that handled my contract with Atlanta.
“As I’ve said, when there is any kind of news to clarify I will let you guys know. I haven’t talked to (Atlanta United president Darren EALES) this week. I haven’t had a chance. We’re focusing on Chicago. The most important thing is these two remaining games and then whatever is left of the playoffs. That’s what we’re focused on.”
Mauro ICARDI was the hero for Inter in their 1-0 win against AC Milan.
It took a header in injury time to separate the two sides. VECINO sent in a lovely cross and Mauro ICARDI towered over the AC Milan back line and a thumping header by the Inter captain gave his team the win.
Sergio AGUERO, Roberto PEREYRA and Erik LAMELA all scored for their clubs on Saturday in the English Premier League.
Beginning with Manchester City’s 5-0 win against Burnley, Sergio AGUERO continued to move up in the all time league goal scorers list. His strike to make it 1-0 was his 149th goal in 215 games for Manchester City. That goal took him to third spot for most Premier League goals for a single club as he over took Frank LAMPARD and Alan SHEARER. Only Wayne Rooney and Thierry HENRY have scored more for a single club.
It was also his 6th goal of the season, moving him to second place, just one goal behind league leader Eden HAZARD of Chelsea who is on 7 goals.
Erik LAMELA scored once more for Tottenham, this time in their 1-0 win against West Ham. LAMELA had a fine performance for Mauricio POCHETTINO’s team, so much so far the hearned the praise of the coach himself and of team mate DEMBELE. Here’s what Mousa DEMBELE had to say about LAMELA:
“He’s unbelievable. He’s helping us a lot – skills, goals, work rate, everything we can ask from a top player like him.
“Everyone knows he has a strong mentality and that’s why he’s improved a lot and you can see he’s so important for us and we always knew this. We’re happy he’s showing the world what he’s capable of.”
Coach Mauricio POCHETTINO said this about LAMELA:
“I feel very happy for Erik. It’s his sixth season with us. I’m happy for him, he provided the three points for the team and was very good.
“It’s very good to see him being very competitive again and helping the team, that’s most important. I feel always to be consistent, to fight, to try to give your best that the depth of the squad is so important.”
There was another goal scorer in England, this time Roberto Pereyra netting for Watford in their 2-0 win against Wolves. PEREYRA made it 2-0 with a lovely chip over the goalkeeper.
