Mauro ICARDI has been left out of Inter’s summer tour as he will be sold.
Per a report by Sky Sport, ICARDI has also began a personalised training regime. Inter coach Antonio CONTE does not count on keeping ICARDI at all, according to reports.
ICARDI had the club captaincy taken away from him last season which began the downward spiral of his relationship with the club.
Former Argentina national team coach Alejandro SABELLA spoke about the team and the Copa America.
Alejandro SABELLA coached Argentina to the 2014 FIFA World Cup final and spent three years coaching the team. Speaking in an interview with TyC Sports, here’s what he had to say:
“It’s difficult for me to talk about the Argentina national team because I was once coach and also because I don’t have all the information to give an answer.
“What I could say is that the team got much better, they were growing at the Copa America and against Brazil, who were one of the candidates and champions, they had a great match.
“The coach made the team better. It’s things that give us some hope but you always have to be very calm and very cautious because we are in a process of rebuilding and every change and rebuilding takes time.
“And we know how we are. I grew up hearing we are the best in the world and I never saw us as being the best on the pitch or that we compete as equals until one day we did.”
Argentina and Boca Juniors striker Dario BENEDETTO is being linked with a move to Olympique Marseille.
Per a report by La Provence, Marseille are interested in signing the 29 year old. The fee is rumored to be €15 million, which is far below his €21 million release clause.
Dario BENEDETTO was left out of Argentina’s Copa America squad and has yet to play in Europe.
News is breaking out from Argentina that coach Lionel SCALONI will remain until the 2022 World Cup.
A report is coming out that Lionel SCALONI will stay as coach, despite his current contract expiring at the end of the year. Argentina general manager Cesar Luis MENOTTI reportedly wants SCALONI to remain.
There was a meeting between MENOTTI and AFA president Claudio TAPIA where MENOTTI would have told TAPIA that he wants SCALONI to stay.
Lionel SCALONI along with Pablo AIMAR, Walter SAMUEL and Roberto AYALA are expected to meet MENOTTI and TAPIA next week to extend their contracts.
Paulo DYBALA revealed that Argentina coach Jorge SAMPAOLI didn’t talk to him during the World Cup.
The Argentina national team striker spoke that the coach didn’t talk to him during the tournament in Russia. Despite being part of the squad for the 2018 World Cup, DYBALA only played a handful of minutes when he featured against Croatia.
Now, over a year later, DYBALA has admitted that SAMPAOLI didn’t talk to him. Speaking with Fox Radio, here’s what he had to say:
“I spoke to him when he came to Torino to tell me that I would be called up to the World Cup but from the day I got to the training camp until the last day, we didn’t talk. We wnent home without even greeting each other.”
DYBALA also mentioned that his comments about it being difficult to play alongside Lionel MESSI may have had something to do with it.
“I didn’t think about asking him about why he didn’t do it. Things started to go bad and for him, the situation wasn’t easy. I don’t know if something happened because of what I said before the World Cup, I thought it had changed since I was called-up but it wasn’t the case.”
