The dates have been changed for the next Copa’s America.
The next Copa America will now be held in 2019 with Brazil as the host nation. There will be another one held the next year in 2020 with Ecuador being the host for that edition.
The 2015 Copa America was supposed to be held in Brazil with the one after that in Chile. The reason why it was changed was because Brazil were hosting the 2013 Confederations Cup, 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic games.
This would mean that Argentina have another chance to win 3 tournaments in 3 years (after making finals in 2014, 2015 and 2016) with the 2018 World Cup and the two Copa’s America which would follow. A win in either of those three tournaments would mean that they would qualify for the 2021 Confederations Cup prior to the 2022 World Cup.
It could be a massive few years for Argentina.
Edgardo BAUZA has taken to the radio to discuss Mauro ICARDI, the match against Bolivia and more.
The Argentina National Team coach has stated that he is thinking of playing a 5-4-1 against Bolivia. Here’s what he had to say:
“Regarding Icardi, I’ve made it clear that no one in the National Team has a problem with him.”
“I see a 5-4-1, very tight to get the ball, we have to cut their play. Something to get to 0-0 for the last 20 minutes.”
“I will call Dybala for the World Cup. But I see that he doesn’t feel important.”
Ezequiel SCHELOTTO can still play for the Argentina National Team per the player himself.
Argentine born Italian National Team player Ezequiel SCHELOTTO has stated that he can still play for Argentina. According to an interview with TyC Sports, FIFA has granted SCHELOTTO permission to play for Argentina despite already playing for Italy.
Argentina National Team coach Edgardo BAUZA contacted Sporting Lisbon’s president and coach regarding the right back. SCHELOTTO has commented on it saying:
“It makes me proud because I was born and raised in Argentina.”
The current Sporting player has played once for the Italian National Team.
Hugo TOCALLI has stated that he would like to go back to the Argentina National Team.
The winning coach with the Argentina U20 team at the World Cup in 2007 in Canada has spoken about the Argentina youth team, forming players for the senior team, his work alongside Jose PEKERMAN and more.. TOCALLI, who was also part of Jose PEKERMAN’s U20 team staff, spoke to TyC Sports and had this to say:
“There shouldn’t be anyone who would not want to go back to the National Team. I would like to. I had 14 magnificent years there.”
“We were getting results when the AFA was hiring coaches who worked with the youth with the same system in mind. The youth teams have to provide players to the senior team.”
“TINELLI has asked me to see him regarding youth football. It could be that the meeting is for something else or because he wants my advise. But Argentine football needs to work on the future and they have to take it very seriously.”
“We have to train players for the senior team and not just for the results. Here, forming youth players is being hurt due to economic problems. Despite all of the problems going on in the country, our youth are distracted by football.”
“For us (himself and Jose PEKERMAN), we were never intersted in being champions at any category but to form players for the senior team. But the results were very positive.”
“When we went to Canada (for the 2007 U20 World Cup), within four months, Sergio ROMERO, Gabriel MERCADO, Ever BANEGA, Angel DI MARIA and Sergio AGUERO were part of the senior team. That’s the experience we have to look for and not go crazy for the results.”
