Edgardo BAUZA took to the airways to discuss his recent trip to Europe.
Argentina National Team coach was on the radio in Argentina where he discussed his recent trip to Europe, his chat with Jose MOURINHO, the full backs for the National Team and more. Here’s what he had to say:
The players in England:
“I spoke with yesterday MOURINHO for 20 minutes. I asked him about the players and how they were doing. It was a good chat. He spoke about the present and about every single one of his players. ROJO has done well and helped give MOURINHO results when he has played as a center back for Manchester United. I didn’t push for MOURINHO to play ROMERO, hah!”
“I was able to see and chat with the majority of the coaches of the players currently on the Argentina National Team. I had coffee with Marcos ROJO and Ramiro FUNES MORI.”
The Argentine players in Europe:
“Regarding those I wasn’t able to see, I spoke to them on the phone. With this trip, it has better helped me understand the players whey travel to Buenos Aires.”
“For me, Paulo DYBALA is a player who should play 30 meters close to goal but Juventus has him playing further back.”
“FAZIO is having a very good season with AS Roma. He’s upped his level and we’re following him.”
The U20’s and full back situation:
“Yesterday, we had to watch the Argentina U20 team on the internet because it wasn’t on television. It made me very happy to watch them qualify.”
“The number of players who will get called-up for the matches against Chile and Bolivia will surely be between 20 and 30 players.”
“Today, our two left backs are Marcos ROJO and Emmanuel MAS. Nicolas TAGLIAFICO has had a very good year but in terms of world class, he’s not at that level. We’re still following him.”
Manchester City players:
“Regarding the Manchester City players, I spoke with Sergio AGUERO as well as Nicolas OTAMENDI, Pablo ZABALETA and Willy CABALLERO. One thing that’s for sure is that for the matches against Chile and Bolivia, I will call-up Sergio AGUERO.”
