One after the other, who are the guys from the national team trying to establish themselves to be part of the team turnover after the Copa América

THE America’s Cup It’s around the corner and Argentina national team He begins to spend the last cartridges he has left until the time comes to defend his crown as continental champion. The Saviourthis Friday from 9pm, e.g Costa Rica On Tuesday 26th at 11.50pm they will be the current rivals of a national team that does not have all the familiar faces. Unlike other times, there are several guys who mix among the world champions. And this is how the convocation reveals the new beautiful work he is doing Lionel Scaloni try to start oiling: the renewal of the squad.

Things have not been easy for pujato in recent months, from the victory against Brazil at the Maracaná to today. The enormous emergence of young talents who are starting to ask for clues internationally, together with the maintenance of old references At a high level they have generated the ever-complicated dilemma of putting together lists. However, this time several factors paved the way for the coach to have his golden opportunity to evaluate new names.

The process of recovery from different injuries where some fixed parts are found as Lionel Messi in the head, added to Paolo Dybala, Marcos Acuna, Gonzalo Montiel AND John Foyth They forced Scaloni to look for variations, a task he had had in mind for some time even if it is not known whether he intended to complete it at the current FIFA date.

After all, DT has found the perfect free space to meet new names and start considering more options for the Copa América and the path to the 2026 World Cup.

The boys are trying to earn a place in the Copa América

The little star getting his golden chance is Alessandro Garnacho. The 19-year-old winger is emerging as one of the best candidates to fight for a place in the Copa América squad: he is in the best moment since his professional debut, being the undisputed starter for Manchester United, and it is rumored that since then the coaching staff has been trying to give him a more leading role in the team.

The absence of several attackers in this squad seems to indicate that Scaloni will give him the minutes he so desires to demonstrate his potential and convince him for the continental tournament. An advantage that he also has is that, in addition to being 19 years old, he has already shared several moments of concentration with the team and has also managed to earn his first minutes: he did it against Australia, in the Chinese tour of 2023.

Another of the candidates to enter Scaloni’s consideration for the Copa América is Facundo Goodnight. The hook that emerged from Rosario Central became a starting point and a key element in Brighton’s functioning in England.

The boy was already part of previous call-ups and had even scored his first minutes with the senior national team in the last friendly against Indonesia, in mid-2023. This is how the absence of Messi and Dybala could be the perfect reason for open the doors to A 19 year old boy in the next matches.

Garnacho and Buonanotte would be the youngsters who start from a higher step in the manager’s consideration participate in this call and integrate the Copa América list. However, another of the boys who was called upon to observe him in detail during training was Valentine’s Day boat.

The left-back, Buonanotte’s teammate at Brighton, was called up to the senior national team for the first time, after being part of the Under 20 and Under 23 squads with Javier Mascherano. His presence seems to be mainly as a replacement for Marcos Acuña. Although receiving the call from Scaloni shows that he is a player he likes and it wouldn’t be unreasonable to start seeing him more often alongside the world champions.

They follow the same path Valentino Carboni AND Nicola Valentini. The boy from Monza also works as a receiver, although he continues to act as a substitute within football: he played 800 minutes in 22 games, which was enough time for him to score two goals and provide four assists. His last appearance for Argentina dates back to the last Under-20 World Cup, becoming one of the team’s big guns.

On the part of the Boca central defender, his call came at the last minute: The coaching staff decided to call him due to the surprising injury of Marco Senesi. He is experiencing his first appointment with the senior team, perhaps thanks to the performances he was able to show in the Xeneize and in the Pre-Olympic.

In the same defender position, although his presence in Scaloni’s lists has already become something a little more common than the rest of the guys, what seems to have gained ground is Nehuen Perez. The defender of 23 years old, he is a fundamental player for Udinese from Italy and it looks like he will be the companion of Christian Cuti Rosemary in the middle pair for Friday’s match against El Salvador.

Despite not being part of the world champion team, Pérez participated in several concentrations before the World Cup in Qatar. He even managed to make his debut in mid-2022 in a friendly against Honduras. His place in the Copa América is not certain, even if he begins to emerge as a candidate to be one of the replacement players.

The crossings against El Salvador and Costa Rica will be the first step towards renewal that Scaloni must command. Some posts for new members of Staircase They can open up for the Copa América, while the others will only be able to do so when qualifying resumes. There will be times when references like Angelo Di Maria They will have already said goodbye when they retire from the Albiceleste.

When all the world champions have recovered from injuries, the delicate task of the technical staff will be to decide what percentage of the roster will be dedicated to future promises. Currently, The feeling is that the national team has put itself first in a project that has the 2026 World Cup as its point of arrival..
