The Selection looks like a lead team. The feeling he gives every time he shows up is that the game flows for him. Maybe that’s why Lionel Scalloni Some pearls are allowed, such as the debut of three players less than two months before the start of the World Cup. Enzo Fernandez, Thiago Almada and Nehuen Perez they had their first time with the Major and the three keep the earnings of being in Qatar latent.
The technician gave me the opportunity to show off and then decide the final list. I come to contribute my grain of sand and to do my best to be there, ”he was honest Enzo Fernandez moments after the victory. He added: “Benfica are giving me the opportunity and I think I can make the most of it. I hope to continue growing. “And he closed:” Playing with Messi is a dream come true. “
Fernandez did not weigh on his debut in the national team, nor is his adaptation in Europe weighing on him. He entered in the 18th minute of the second half and was included as a central midfielder, just as he played in Defense and Justice. He pressed and won in Messi’s second goal and almost made a great goal in the end: his right hand from the crescent of the area hits the left corner. He made the most of his opportunity and the chances of being in the World Cup continue to increase. Remember that he is fighting for the position with Exequiel Palacios, who suffered injuries. Another one who sets out to be is Alexis Mac Allister, who joined shortly after the former River. It is possible that they will both have minutes again on Tuesday against Jamaica.
The debuts of Thiago Almada and Nehuen PerezMeanwhile, they seem to be more long-term, even if the possibilities are there, as Scaloni explained at a press conference. In central defense, Cristian Romero and Nicolás Otamendi are number one, as are Germán Pezzella and Lisandro Martínez. There could also be Juan Foyth, who can be a winger or a defender.
Y Thiago Almada It’s one of the manager’s weaknesses, even though options abound in attack. Messi, Lautaro Martínez and Ángel Di María are the owners; Paulo Dybala, Julián Álvarez and Alejandro Gómez, the substitutes. And there only Joaquín and Ángel Correa follow.
“Whoever enters shows that there can be and makes things difficult”, assured Lionel Scaloni. That’s why no one can steal the dream of being in the World Cup in Qatar from rookies Enzo Fernández, Thiago Almada and Nehuén Pérez.
