Gonzalo HIGUAIN, Erik LAMELA and Emiliano INSUA all scored for their clubs.

Finally off the mark, Gonzalo HIGUAIN scores his first goal for his new club in AC Milan’s 1-1 draw against Cagliari. HIGUAIN rounded the goalkeeper and scores to draw Milan level. Lucas BIGLIA and Mateo MUSACCHIO both also started the match for Milan.

While the door to the Argentina National Team should be closed for both HIGUAIN and BIGLIA (Lucas already retired following the loss to France), Mateo MUSACCHIO can still find his way into the team.

Off to England, Erik LAMELA scored  late goal for Tottenham as they lost 2-1 against Liverpool. LAMELA came on as a substitute as he began the match on the bench and was one of Tottenham’s better players. LAMELA smashes the ball from a difficult angle to beat the goalkeeper.

From Serie A to the English Premier League to the Bundesliga, Emiliano INSUA scored for Stuttgart in their 3-3 draw against Freiburg. A shot from outside of the penalty area found its way through the players and into the net. While not included in the Argentina National Team, INSUA has found regular playing time with Stuttgart.

Santiago ASCACIBAR, who was part of the recent Argentina team, started the match along with Nicolas GONZALEZ.

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.”

Angel DI MARIA continued his fine form for PSG as he scored in their 4-0 win against Saint-Etienne.

There’s no catching up to PSG in Ligue 1 as the current champions and league leaders made it five wins out of five to start the season. The former Real Madrid and Manchester United man netted the third goal for PSG, a lovely shot from the goalkeeper’s right side.

As we reported a few days ago, there are rumors that DI MARIA, along with a few other players, would get called back to the Argentina team.
