Mauro ICARDI scored as Lautaro MARTINEZ played a fantastic ball into the area in Inter’s 1-1 draw against Sheffield United.

A total of three Argentine players took part in the match, all three, unsurprisingly, playing for SPALETTI’s team. Mauro ICARDI and Lautaro MARTINEZ both started while Facundo COLIDIO came on as a substitute for the Inter captain. Lautaro MARTINEZ displayed great vision as he sent in a ball from midfield to pick out CANDREVA who slid the ball in for Mauro ICARDI for the goal.

COLIDIO spoke to Inter’s official website regarding his appearance in the match. The former Boca Juniors man had this to say:

“It was a great feeling to play in England, football was invented here and it’s always evocative to play in these stadiums. It was a tough game with Sheffield United. We’re still in the midst of full preparations while they’re further along. What does it mean to train daily with Icardi and Lautaro? It helps me a lot to learn and improve.”

With this match taking place at Bramall Lane, Inter’s next match will be on Saturday July 28 against Chelsea in Nice.

Javier ZANETTI talks Argentina, Lionel MESSI and more

Legendary figure of the Argentina National Team and Inter was on Fox Sports Argentina to discuss the National Team, Lionel MESSI and more.

There’s been a lot of talk going around in the media since Argentina’s elimination at the FIFA World Cup. However, ZANETTI is adament that changes must be made to the National Team and that they have to restart from scratch. Here’s what he had to say:

“With the Argentina National Team, we have to start from zero. It’s time to construct the National Team. Analyzing the last few years, it’s logical to see what happened in Russia.

“The National Team is bigger than any player. If the AFA ask me for help, I would gladly help them but my career is in Italy.”

As seems to be the case for the better part of a decade, when talking about the Argentina team, one is always asked about Lionel MESSI. ZANETTI himself addressed the rumors that his club Inter were being linked to MESSI but quickly shot them down. He also stated that he’d like to see MESSI wear the Argentina shirt once more.

“It’s crazy nonesense. There’s no truth that we are out for MESSI.

“I’d like to think that MESSI’s time isn’t over yet. Hopefully we get to enjoy MESSI a bit more. At the World Cup, the team just didn’t work.

“You don’t have to compare MESSI and MARADONA.”

As for his playing career, Javier mentioned that he was surprised Inter spotted him and that he could have played one more year. ZANETTI also said that that newly signed Argentine Lautaro MARTINEZ is the future of the Argentina National Team.

“I couldn’t believe that Inter had noticed me. I could have played one more year but I wanted to retire on a good note.

“I believe that Lautaro MARTINEZ deserves an opportunity. He is the future of this National Team.”

And finally, a word on his former team mate with the Argentina National Team, Diego SIMEONE:

“El Cholo is becoming more and more (better) day by day.”

News coming out of Argentina that former coach Alejandro SABELLA could take over as National Team coach.

Per a report by TyC Sports, SABELLA is rumored to manage the team with a big project behind it all. In short, the idea would be that he would take over the team (both at senior level as well as youth level).

SABELLA would manage the senior side at the very least until the 2019 Copa America. In the mean time, he would also coach the U20 team at the South American U20 tournament to be held in Chile between January and February of next year.

That tournament has 2.5 places for a South American teams for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.

This is all still just speculation, especially with Lionel SCALONI presently taking charge of the U20 team.

Juventus striker Gonzalo HIGUAIN has reportedly received offers from Chelsea, Bayern Munich and AC Milan.

While the Argentine international didn’t particularly have a good World Cup with his country, that hasn’t stopped the offers from coming in for his services. With the arrival of Cristiano RONALDO at Juventus, the reigning Serie A champions have received some calls for their number nine.

Per la Gazzetta dello Sport, AC Milan have made an offer of €60 million for HIGUAIN. Apparently it would be a four year deal.

There were reports last week that Chelsea president Roman ABRAMOVICH travelled to Turin to hold talks with the club. Bayern Munich are apparently interested in signing him as well.
