Leandro PAREDES scores his first goal for Zenit and is it ever a beauty.

One of Zenit’s signings of the summer (if not the summer of the signing) scored his first goal for his new club. Zenit picked up 3 points in their 4-0 win against Terek Grozny and are three points clear at the top of the RFPL.

PAREDES, who was called-up to the Argentina National Team on Friday, started the match for the league leaders alongside Emanuel MAMMANA and Sebastian DRIUSSI.

Mauricio POCHETTINO: “I would like to coach Argentina”

Tottenham Hotspur coach Mauricio POCHETTINO has stated that he would like to coach the Argentina National Team.

Former Argentina international and coach of Tottenham would like to one day go back to Argentina and he has also stated the affection he has towards Marcelo BIELSA. Speaking in an interview, here’s what the Tottenham boss had to say:

Mauricio POCHETTINO on coaching:

“I would like to go back to Argentina one day. To coach Newell’s and the Argentina National Team. There’s a big difference between coaching there and in Europe, it’s very difficult gonig back, but it’ll happen.”

Mauricio POCHETTINO on Marcelo BIELSA:

“I like seeing Marcelo, laughing and being more open as he explains his philosophy. I have a special affection (towards him), I’ve known him since I was 13 and for me is one of the top coaches.”

Sergio AGUERO scores to win it for Manchester City

Sergio AGUERO scores the winner for Manchester City once more, this time in their 2-0 season opening win against Brighton. Kun has now scored 5 goals in 6 opening day matches for Manchester City and has now scored against 30 of the 31 different clubs he has faced in the English Premier League.

AGUERO’s goal came in the 70th minute after receiving a pass from David SILVA, Sergio slotted the ball behind RYAN for his first goal of the season.

Sergio AGUERO back in Argentina team

As we reported yesterday, the Manchester City hitman is back in the Argentina National Team after receiving his first call-up from new coach Jorge SAMPAOLI. AGUERO was left out of SAMPAOLI’s first list back in June when the team defeated both Brazil and Singapore.

Gonzalo HIGUAIN out of Argentina team, ICARDI in

Hey everyone,

Here is the much anticipated SAMPAOLI list of players for the next 2 World Cup Qualifiers against Uruguay and Venezuela. The big news is that Gonzalo HIGUAIN has been dropped. That seems to be the biggest change. Here it is:

Goalkeepers:

Sergio ROMERO
Nahuel GUZMÁN
Gerónimo RULLI

Defenders:

Javier MASCHERANO
Federico FAZIO
Nicolás OTAMENDI
Gabriel MERCADO
Nicolás PAREJA

Midfielders:

Ever BANEGA
Lucas BIGLIA
Augusto FERNÁNDEZ
Leandro PAREDES
Guido PIZARRO
Ángel DI MARÍA
Marcos ACUÑA
Javier PASTORE
Eduardo SALVIO
Manuel LANZINI

Forwards:

Lionel MESSI
Paulo DYBALA
Sergio AGÜERO
Joaquín CORREA
Mauro ICARDI

What do you guys think? In my opinions it’s a very good list. It’s a good blend of youth and experience. I think AGUERO needs to prove himself again and knows that if he doesn’t, he may be dropped as well.

Also, it has been confirmed today that the injuries of Joaquin CORREA and Gabriel MERCADO are not serious and they will recover in time to take part in these upcoming qualifiers.
