Edgardo BAUZA has decided to call up two new players for the next two World Cup Qualifiers against Brazil and Colombia in November. As Paulo DYBALA will not be available, he decided to call Fernando BELLUSCHI and Ezequiel LAVEZZI. We know that LAVEZZI had injured his arm at Copa America 2016. He was actually at their last training camp but what was not officially called up. What do you guys think of these new call ups? We vitally need points in these next two matches. Will they be useful? What do you guys think?
With Edgard BAUZA as coach of the Argentina National Team, there always seems to be someone who is getting rumored to get called-up.
According to reports, Edgardo BAUZA will be travelling to Germany this weekend to watch Pablo DE BLASIS (formerly of Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata) as his club Mainz 05 play Ingolstadt. BLASIS (winger), currently at Mainz 05 in the Bundesliga, leads his club with 4 goals scored this season and also has 2 assists in 315 minutes.
Coach Edgardo BAUZA has said with confidence today that he will call up midfielder from San Lorenzo Fernando BELLUSCHI if Paulo DYBALA is not available for the upcoming World Cup Qualifiers. Here’s a quote from today:
“We’ll wait for Dybala but in case he can’t make it, I’ll surely call up Belluschi.” said BAUZA at an interview with Radio Guemes, AM 1050.
In the same interview, he also referred to the team that will play against Brazil and said that if Lucas BIGLIA doesn’t make it, Guido PIZARRO will accompany Javier MASCHERANO. He also said that he couldn’t guarantee that Julio BUFFARINI will start against Brazil.
Before getting to the news, I would like to apologize for the lack of updates the past few days. We have been very busy doing some behind the scenes work on some new things at Mundo.
With that said, four Argentine’s have been nominated for the Ballon d’Or France Football award.
Lionel MESSI, Paulo DYBALA, Sergio AGÜERO and Gonzalo HIGUAIN.
Lionel MESSI, Paulo DYBALA, Gonzalo HIGUAIN and Sergio AGÜERO have all been nominated for the award. Though MESSI is the only one of the four with a real chance of winning it, the likely winner this year remains Cristiano RONALDO.
In other award news, the La Liga awards came out and there are a few other winners as well. Lionel MESSI won the award for the league’s best striker (best player award went to Luis SUAREZ)), Diego SIMEONE won the best coach and Alex SZYMANOWSKI won the player of the year for his performances last season in the second division.
