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.
Hello everyone,
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, 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.
Congratulations to all the winners.
Paulo DYBALA has picked up an injury and is a doubt for Argentina.
Paulo DYBALA has picked up yet another injury while playing for Juventus. The injury was initially feared to be a tear but it has since been reported that it is not. DYBALA is expected to be out for 2 weeks and is a doubt for next month’s World Cup Qualifying.
There are rumors that Fernando BELLUSCHI could be called as a replacement.
A rumor that’s been swirling around the media since Friday and one that would surely make many Argentina fans happy.
There’s a rumor making rounds that in December, Edgardo BAUZA will step down as Argentina National Team coach. The new coach? Well, according to the rumor, it would be Sevilla’s Jorge SAMPAOLI.
I can’t seem to find the original source of the rumor but it’s something which has been reported even in some media outlets in Argentina. The only way I can see this whole thing happening is if the AFA Have a secret agreement going on with Sevilla and SAMPAOLI which would allow him to take over. Other than that, I can’t see how this would happen.
Support the site, win prizes, and be part of the Albiceleste family!
