The practice of Argentine National Team On the last day before the match against Peru, this Saturday at 9:00 p.m., he left a possible lineup for the team that Walter Samuel will lead: Draw Martínez or Gero Rulli; Gonzalo Montiel, Germán Pezzella, Otamendi, Nico Tagliafico; Exequiel Palacios, Leandro Paredes, Valentín Carboni: Ángel di María, Lautaro Martínez, Garnacho.
This is not a surprise because the coach, Lionel Scaloni, after the 1-0 victory against Chile had announced that there would be a rotation. The objective is for the starting team to reach the quarterfinals as best as possible, which will be next Thursday if the Albiceleste finishes in first place in the group (a draw is enough for them).
It was a curiosity that Scaloni handed out the jerseys in full view of all the journalists, during the first 15 minutes that the press was allowed to enter. This was an indication that this would be the line-up that would start against Jorge Fossati’s team. It is the line-up that had been discussed among the press. It is Otamendi’s first start in the tournament. It will also be the debut for points for Carboni and Garnacho.
In addition, it is worth remembering that Pezzella and Palacios did not have minutes so far in the tournament.
While the players were doing their tactics, Lionel Messi and Marcos Acuña worked out in the gym to recover from their injuries. It is known that both will not even be on the bench against Peru.
The training took place at the Florida National University Sports Field.
