Below is the newsletter Clarione after the penultimate presentation of Argentina, which has only the friendly test against the United Arab Emirates on November 16 in Abu Dhabi, six days before the World Cup debut in Qatar against Saudi Arabia at the Lusail stadium in Doha.
Emiliano Martinez (6):
He had no complications because they practically did not kick on goal.
Gonzalo Montiel (6):
Security on the right side. He had no problems at the mark and was thrown when he could.
Cristiano Romero (6):
Solid and stable. Very attentive to closures. And it integrated well with Otamendi.
Nicholas Otamendi (7):
The best of defense. Command voice to get your teammates out of the bottom and bilge when needed. Focus on the advances.
Nicola Tagliafico (6):
He made some climbs on the left wing and participated in the play of the first goal.
Alexis MacAllister (6):
He moved intelligently through the midfield. He distributed the ball well.
Guido Rodriguez (6):
It served its containment function against a rival team that didn’t attack too much. Good in the relay races and attentive to the mark.
Youth Lo Celso (6):
He wasn’t that decisive with his through balls, but he had a good understanding to team up with Mac Allister in the middle of the pitch.
Angel Of Mary (6):
In the absence of Messi at the start, he took charge of the game with good interventions from the right sector. He had his chance to convert but Blake saved him and in the second half his performance diminished.
Lautaro Martinez (6):
This time he did not dress as a scorer but as an assistant to give the pass to Julián Álvarez, with whom he got on well. He could not take advantage of his chances to convert.
Julian Alvarez (7):
He turned a goal scorer by setting first in the small area after assistance from Lautaro Martínez. And he had a great show. He was well associated with the flounces.
Lionel Messi (9):
The 35 minutes played were enough for him to return to being the best in the field. He scored two goals, one from a free kick, and almost without breaking a sweat.
Enzo Fernandez (6):
He entered through Guido Rodríguez and stopped at “5”. He distributed the ball well and did his job.
