is coming Finalissima, the match that will face the European Championship champion and the final winner of the Copa América at Wembley. And after ending a 28-year drought, Argentina’s National Team got the privilege of playing a new duel for a title against Italy. Earlier, Lionel Scaloni seemed to take advantage of his rival: this Friday he delivered a list that includes defender Marcos Senesi, who is in the folder to wear Azzurra.
The match will be played on June 1 at the legendary stadium in London and will have as a spice a tribute to Diego Armando Maradona. Senesi will be there to wear an Argentina shirt for the first time, in another cunning move by the coach in protect it and secure a defender with international contact for the next stage of the National Team.
In the event, Senesi (entrerriano, 25 years old) of Italian descent, was in the plan of Robert Mancinithe coach of the Italian national team, who is considering renewing to access the 2026 World Cup after being eliminated for the second time (he missed Russia and will lose Qatar) from the World Cup.
But since the list Scaloni has submitted for the match is not yet final, if Senesi finally stays on the payroll for the match against Italy – and from the Azzurra they also called him up – he will have to decide which team to play. .
Senesi, born in San Lorenzo, already wore a National Team shirt in Sub 20 and Sub 23. He even played in the 2017 World Cup Sub 20 in South Korea where the Argentine team led the Claudio Ubeda was eliminated in the first round after losing to England (0-3) and the locals (1-2), and beat Guinea 5-0 on goals from Marcelo Torres, Lautaro Martínez -2-, Matías Zaracho and Senesi himself , which began. all three games.
Meanwhile, the defender is the only Argentine soccer player to play for a continental title in the European season. He is the captain of Feyenoord of the Netherlands who will seek to keep the trophy of Conference League (the third tournament behind the Champions League and Europa League) on Wednesday May 25 in the final against Roma at Arena Kombëtare, in Tirana, Albania.
The other battle between Scaloni and Mancini
Franco Carboni, of the Ezeiza estate.
Senesi is not the only player competing for Argentine and Italian national teams. It also happened in the Italian newspaper that Mancini had brothers in his plans Franco and Valentin Carbonithe sons of Ezequiel (former Lanús central midfielder), who was in the preselection Scaloni made in March to play in the final Qualifiers matches against Venezuela and Ecuador.
Franco is 18 years old and plays for the Primavera 1 team Between Milan, and has already passed to the under 17 and under 19 teams in Italy; Valentí is 17 and also plays on the youth teams of Neroazzurro. We will need to see which shirt will most often throw at them.
Scaloni’s last big date with the players
The Argentina National Team will work in the area of Watford club, of the English Premier League, outside London, to prepare for the match against Italy. That will be the last time the coach will need to work with the group before meeting and traveling to the World Cup in Qatar (November 21 to December 18). And while resolving what will happen in the pending against Brazil for the Qualifiers, from the AFA they are seeking to close another preparatory friendly against Israel, in Tel-Aviv, after Finalissima, in the same FIFA window. Then, we have to wait until the World Cup to see the team in action again.
