Match Highlights: Lionel MESSI hattrick for Barcelona, Franco CERVI goal

23

The Champions League season is under way and Lionel MESSI grabbed the first hattrick of the year.

The little magician was on fire and everywhere for Barcelona in their 7-0 win against Celtic. With his hattrick, Lionel MESSI now leads the Champions League with a record 6 hattricks in his career. No other players has scored as many as him. Javier MASCHERANO did not start and remained on the bench for the champions of Spain.

In Portugal, Franco CERVI scored for Benfica in their 1-1 draw against Turkish team Besiktas. CERVI scored early in the 12th minute and it looked like Benfica would be able to hang on until the 93rd minute where the visitor tied it up. Lisandro LOPEZ, Eduardo SALVIO and the goal scorer himself CERVI all started for Benfica.

Edgardo BAUZA to call up ICARDI for Argentina?

39

The Argentine media is reporting that BAUZA is considering calling up Mauro ICARDI for the next World Cup Qualifiers against Perú (October 6) and  Paraguay (October 11).  He actually already made his Albiceleste debut vs Uruguay during the WC14 qualifiers when Alejandro SABELLA was in charge of the team.

ICARDI didn’t get a chance under ex coach Gerardo “Tata” Martino.  It looks like BAUZA now sees that this may be a good opportunity to get ICARDI on the team.  It’s being reported that BAUZA plans on discussing this with the team captain’s: Lionel MESSI and Javier MASCHERANO to see what their opinions are on the matter.

Since ICARDI has arrived at Inter Milan back in 2013 he has scored 55 goals in 108 games.  He has already scored in all of Inter Milan’s 3 matches thus far this season.  What do you guys think? Does he deserve a chance? We all know all about the off-field scandal with Maxi LOPEZ.  Should this be a factor at all?

 

 

 

Edgardo BAUZA comments on HIGUAIN, TEVEZ, more

15

Hello everyone,

Here are some recent quotes from our coach Bauza. It seems as if he is actually still thinking of giving Carlos Tevez a chance.  It also looks like Higuain will definitely be called up for our next set of qualifiers.

Speaking in regards to HIGUAIN: “I spoke with him.  He knows that he could be selected at any time.  He’s a National team player.”

The players may meet directly in LIMA, PERU: “The idea is to cut the travel time for the players coming from Europe by heading directly towards Lima.”

In regards to his first two matches coached: “The idea has been instilled… the objective is to qualify for the World Cup.”

“We’ve been reviewing the last two Qualifiers.  There’s good things that stand out but also things to correct.  In both games, there was an idea that was instilled which started since we started working in Ezeiza.” 

“We know that during these tight qualifiers winning is important…the idea is to always win.”

“I saw that match that Peru played against Ecuador, it’s going to be a matter of who is stronger.  But after, we have the last two qualifiers that are going to be difficult against Brazil and Colombia. We’re taking it piece by piece. We’re aiming towards Peru and then we’ll see.”

In regards to TEVEZ: “He’s getting back to his best form…but we’ll have to see how he comes back after the suspension.” And “He could be selected if he maintains his form.”

What do you guys think of all of this? Should Tevez be given another chance? Or is enough enough already?  What about Higuain? Yes or no?  Does his Juventus form merit another chance? Or is enough enough?
