Jorge D’Alessandro doubles the bet: “This selection is the best of all in the history of football”

The former footballer and analyst of El Chiringuito de España is visiting the country George D’Alessandro expressed his opinion on the consecration of the Argentina national team in Qatar and compared them with those of ’78 and ’86. Furthermore, he praised the figure of Lionel Messi, spoke of Ángel Di María’s goal in the final against France and once again praised the midfield composed by Lionel Scaloni.

The Argentine speaker and former goalkeeper had become a meme during the World Cup for having explained the keys to Scaleneta’s success with brutal sincerity. This earned him strong crossovers with his colleagues from the TV cycle.

“I’ve had to endure criticism at the worst of times, but we were the best champion in the history of world footballHe affirmed it without hesitation, amid the controversies that arose after the declarations of Rodrigo De Paul.

With that sentence, the Atlético de Madrid midfielder had entered into a heated debate that earned him the reply of some of the players who reached the top with Bilardo and Menotti.

Just this Wednesday, Scaloni in a press conference tried to lower the foam on the affair: “There’s no discussion, it’s the Argentina national team. It’s stupid to think about it. If they are the three world champions, what does it matter if you are better or worse It’s not necessary. If you give me the choice, all three. And I’d also put my national team last because I’m like that. It’s a speech that doesn’t make much sense. All three are champions.”

But D’Alessandro, whose wrist never quivers when it comes to answering, even went so far as to say that La Scaloneta was better than Pelé’s Brazilian team that established itself in the 1970s.

“That team kneaded a pizza. It was slow, they passed it backwards until Pelé took it. I liked it, it seemed emblematic with Carlos Alberto’s goal which was considered the best collective goal until Qatar, but Di María’s goal in the final was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen in my life“, he exclaimed in statements to TN extension AND TyC Sport.

“What Argentina did was surprising, they have never played with three midfielders in history. Neither in ’78 nor in ’86. They are immortal, but that story is over. Maradona dominated that team, in this World Cup the team she was the protagonist. I’m Ferrari They didn’t let Rabiot, Griezmann touch them…”, he explained about the performances of De Paul, Alexis Mac Allister and Enzo Fernández.

Still haunted by the second goal conceded by Argentina The Blueshe continued: “It was a fantasy, I remember that Molina played Mac Allister and then Leo. Argentina used eight thousand square meters and used the 105 meters of length, from one side of lime to the other of Di María. The best goal of all time“.

Furthermore, he highlighted the figure of Angelito by underlining that “Argentina attacked from the sides and that was the key to the game”.

He said that, during the World Cup, the national team “generated such an imbalance in the engine room, in midfield with dizziness, that it gave him peace of mind to go ahead with a ball in motion.”

“We have created many situations: we have generated football and there have been some really great goals. No one believed Argentina would do this“, he analyzed.

And he was moved when he remembered the welcome of the champions on December 20: “That scene moved me. I have never seen a mobilization like this in my life. It was a cry of hope.”

Messi’s World Cup and the confrontation with Maradona

“Messi played happily. Maradona was the best individual player, he was a soloist. He won a World Cup by himself, but the games were without association, he didn’t need the rest. At 35, we found the best version of Messi because he played football, served the team to put the seal of distinction on it. That’s why he was smiling,” D’Alessandro stressed.

And said the famous “Go over there, stupid” of the rosary it seemed to him “large and authentically Argentinian”.

Finally, as a former goalkeeper with a move to San Lorenzo he allowed himself to speak Emiliano Dibu Martinez. “He’s an old goalkeeper, I love him. He’s great, he’s got personality, play management and foot. He uses the long ball when he needs it,” he said.

And speaking of other teams, he concluded with whatand “Spain was a disappointment and Brazil admires us”.
