Cristian ANSALDI, Gio SIMEONE score in Serie A

Cristian ANSALDI and Giovani SIMEONE both scored in Serie A on Saturday.

Mauro ICARDI wasn’t the only Argentinian to score after the international break in Serie A. Cristian ANSALDI scored for Torino in their 4-0 away victory to Cagliari. The Argentina international scored goal number three of the match, his first goal of the season. Fellow Argentina international Nicolas BURDISSO also started the match for Torino.

It’s been a heartbreaking month for not only the footballing world but more specifically Fiorentina following the tragic passing of their captain Davide ASTORI. Former Fiorentina captain Gabriel BATISTUTA recently visited his old club when he attended a training session.

One of the players BATISTUTA spoke with was the club’s current number 9, the son of a former Argentina team mate of his, Giovani SIMEONE. Batigol reportedly told Gio:

“Don’t worry, sooner or later a goal will come and everything will return to normal. Trust in Florence, if you understand the city then it will give you a big helping hand.”

Well, BATISTUTA’s words must have helped because it took SIMEONE just three minutes before he found the back of the net. After going 660 minutes without scoring, Giovani with a poacher like finish from inside the area gave Fiorentina a reason to smile.

A Mauro ICARDI double and an Ivan PERISIC saw Inter Milan pick up a 3-0 win against Verona.

It’s been a bitter sweet few weeks for Mauro ICARDI. After having been ignored for the Argentina National Team and missing out on his country’s friendly matches against Italy and Spain, Mauro ICARDI came back in regular form. That is to say with goals.

ICARDI scored in the first minute to give his team a 1-0 lead. Ivan PERISIC doubled their lead and ICARDI scored three minutes into the second half to make it 3-0 and put the match to bed.

It was a memorable match for the Inter captain as he is now on 24 Serie A goals this season which is the same amount as his personal best in Serie A which came last season.

With Gonzalo HIGUAIN not having the best of matches for Argentina (versus Italy and more specifically on Tuesday in a 6-1 loss to Spain), Argentina National Team coach could have some doubts in regards to HIGUAIN and should ICARDI continue these performances, he could see himself back in the National Team.

Per Bet365, the Inter man has now scored six goals in his last 95 minutes of football.

With Pablo AIMAR’s inclusion into the Argentina coaching staff, there are rumors that Sebastian BECCACECE could be on his way out.

As you all are aware by now, Jorge SAMPAOLI has included Pablo AIMAR as part of his coaching staff. There are widespread reports that the reason behind this is because the relationship between current assistant coach, Sebastian BECCACECE and the rest of the staff has deteriorated.

AIMAR was apparently overwhelmingly voted in as everyone was in favour of him compared BECCACECE. While we’re still waiting for official news on this, surely this only adds more bad news behind the scenes for Argentina.

Pablo AIMAR has officialy joined the Argentina coaching staff.

After having joined the Argentina coaching staff on their recent trips to England and Spain for the friendly matches against Italy and Spain, AIMAR has now joined the staff and will be part of the team which goes to Russia for the World Cup. Per a report by TyC Sports, the former Argentina international will be on the plane to Russia.

Currently coaching the U17 team, Pablo was part of two Argentina squads which went to the 2002 World Cup as well as the 2006 World Cup. An idol of MESSI’s, there’s no doubt that the River Plate and Valencia legend can help out the younger players on the team with his experience.

A figure in Alejandro SABELLA’s 2014 World Cup back line, Ezequiel GARAY took to the media to discuss his Argentina National Team situation.

Lots has been said regarding GARAY’s lack of call-ups to the National Team. In fact, his last match for Argentina came in the first match of 2018 World Cup Qualifying when the team lost 2-0 at home to Ecuador. Rumors were circulating that GARAY had refused call-ups in the past but he has set the record straight.

Speaking with El Desmarque of Spain, here’s what the Valencia man had to say:

Ezequiel GARAY

“It’s a question for the Argentina coach. I intend to do things well at my club and after that it depends on the coach. It doesn’t depend on me to decide who goes and who doesn’t.

“A lot of things were said. Did you hear anything coming out of my mouth? No. Listen… I never gave up. I always believe it’s a dream to be able to play for you country.”
