The rumored line-up is out for Argentina.
The Argentina Olympic team will play Colombia’s Olympic team on Thursday in Florida. There is a line-up which has been circulating around in the media. It looks like OLARTICOECHEA will play a 4-3-3 with the coveted CORREA, CALLERI and LANZINI all starting up top. Here’s the rumored line-up:
RULLI, GOMEZ, GIANETTI, CUESTA, SOTO; ASCACIBAR, MARTINEZ/ROMERO; LO CELSO; CORREA, CALLERI and LANZINI
Miguel Angel RUSSO will be offered the Argentina National Team coaching job.
Despite the report earlier, it looks as if the AFA will go a different direction for the new coach. Strong reports out of Argentina are suggesting that the AFA will meet with RUSSO as they want him to be the new coach. RUSSO has coached several teams in South America and managed to win the Copa Libertadores in 2007 with Boca Juniors.
My personal opinion is that this would be an absolutely terrible idea. I really cannot see anything good coming out of this.
According to the very reliable Fernando CZYZ of La Nacion, Marcelo BIELSA would like to coach the National Team.
Fernando tweeted out that Marcelo BIELSA would like to be the coach of the Argentina National Team and that if he’s not chosen, it would be because the board itself decided on another option.
He told the commission that the financial aspect is not a problem for him.
Franco DI SANTO nets twice for his club.
Schalke managed a 13-0 win against Westphalian league side DSC Wanne Eickel. Franco DI SANTO scored twice in the victory. Ever since joining the German club from Werder Bremen in 2015, DI SANTO has scored only two league goals in 21 matches, with 8 goals in total in 30 matches.
Diego MARADONA took to Fox Sports to discuss Argentina’s National Team job.
MARADONA compared himself to a few coaches in the world and went as far as saying that he would coach the team for free. Here’s what he had to say:
“SIMEONE wasn’t interested in Argentina job for financial issue. But money is not an issue for me. I’d coach Argentina for free. A lot of people seem to think I am an expensive coach. But what about MOURINHO? And ANCELOTTI or SIMEONE?”
“I don’t know how expensive I am compared to these coaches. I am starting to miss coaching more and more. I miss working with the players and fighting with the journalists.”
