The Under 20 World Cup in Argentina, the great opportunity to see Garnacho and the “europibes” up close.

The news is that between Monday and Tuesday it could be announced that the Under 20 World Cup will be held in Argentina after the fall of Indonesia as seat. And the possibility seduces for two great reasons: first, Javier Mascherano’s team would be present, which could not qualify for the South American championship in Colombia; second, The Argentines would have the chance to see Alejandro Garnacho play, the young man who breaks through at Manchester United and that it is one of the great promises of the world.

And everything that happens to Garnacho in the biancoceleste shirt will have an absolute responsibility: Patricia Ferreyra Fernández, his mother.

The story is already known, but it should be repeated. Patricia traveled on vacation from Argentina to Spain and there she met Alex Garnacho. Both fell in love, settled in the municipality of Arroyomolinos and formed a family from which Alejandro and Roberto were born. But she Patricia has never lost her origins and since she was very young she filled them with Argentine identity. Over there is a photo of a little boy Alejandro in a blue and white T-shirt.

Garnacho was born on July 1, 2004 and grew up with a ball. And since he was a child he had two idols: Oliver Atomin Europe known as Captain Tsubasa, e Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese who broke it at Real Madrid when Alejandro started to fall in love with football. From the first he has a huge tattoo on his right leg and with the second he shared some games in Manchester.

The first team Garnacho played for was Getafe and at the age of 11 he went to Atlético de Madrid, where he shone for 5 seasons. Until Manchester United appeared in 2020 with an offer and the whole family moved to England.

The English cast’s swift first-team debut caught the attention of Argentine officials and Lionel Scaloni soon called him up for the Senior Selection midway through last year. Days later, he lowered the orders of Javier Mascherano, played the international championship Maurice Revello (formerly known as Esperanzas de Toulon). “A pride to wear this shirt”Garnacho wrote at that time on his social networks.

The possibility of the U-20 World Cup being played may also serve to end Garnacho’s love. It is worth mentioning that he has played a few games in the Spanish youth academy and that the only chance Argentina has to “protect” the talented United player is if he plays three games, both FIFA and continental entities.

The Europibes, which are the other crepes that will accompany Garnacho

Sure, Garnacho won’t be the only attraction, but there are several “Euro-kids” who could come to the country to play for the national team. Matías Soulé (Juventus), Luka Romero (Lazio), Valentín Carboni (Inter), Nicolás Paz (Real Madrid), Franco Carboni (Cagliari), Tiago Geralnik (Villarreal) and Facundo Buonanotte (Brighton) are the remaining youngsters who could be mentioned .

Nicolás Paz was one of the South American’s most prominent players, while Buonanotte and Valentín Carboni were called up by Scaloni for the friendlies against Panama and Curaçao; no one added minutes.

Meanwhile, forward Soulé has already scored one goal in 19 games for Juventus and Romero has already amassed 30 games in the Prima Divisione (21 for Lazio and 9 for Mallorca) with 2 goals.
