The injury that Alexander Garnacho suffered the previous weekend made his call up to the Argentina national team frustrating. The illusion of being able to see the new jewel of Manchester United make his first minutes with the albiceleste was truncated and this is how the fear appeared that Spain would play the last bullet to keep the player. And he tried. But as he said bernard romeocoordinator of the youth teams of the AFA, the 18-year-old full-back is clear that his desire is to be part of the group of Lionel Scaloni.
Talking to DSports Radio, the former footballer calmed the waters before the possible loss that could occur. The coordinator of the Spanish national teams called him, but he was very clear and answered out of respect. He is determined to play for ArgentinaRomero said.
Furthermore, to clarify the boy’s decision, who knew he was a point of reference at the San Lorenzo, he told an anecdote he had with him: “I also spoke to him (Garnacho) a week ago and during a tour I done in europe i could be at home and It has his picture with (Lionel) Messi. He’s a convinced player.”
In this way the situation continues its course. Regardless of the injury that Garnacho contracted, the plans of both Scaloni and the player himself are to wear the Argentina national team shirt as soon as possible to begin his insertion in the group, as well as to gain experience. Everything seems to indicate that the one born in Spain has a South American destiny.
Romeo spoke about the Mascherano situation
Bernardo also referred to Javier Mascherano’s resignation from his post as coach of the Sub 20 after the poor performance of the national youth team at the South American Games: “We did our best to convince him. It’s not closed yet but I know it’s difficult. I’ve been with him recently, he gave me explanations of him and if he feels it’s not enough, you have to respect that. It is an emblem for the national team.”
A possible successor to the little boss even if it has been announced that in the next few days the DT World Champion will give his opinion on the matter and will have “an important weight” in the decision. “I prefer to talk to Scaloni first, who is the head of the project,” Romero said.
