With Messi and Acuña separated, the national team carried out its last practice before the match against Peru and Scaloni seems to have only one doubt: the left midfielder.
- Messi, without tear and differentiated: does he reach the quarterfinals?
- Samuel revealed how Scaloni reacted to the Conmebol sanction and spoke about Messi
The Argentine National Team had another day of training at the Florida International University Campus and the image of the practice had Alejandro Garnacho as protagonists. The thing is that the coach, Lionel Scaloni, He stopped the Manchester United player among the possible starters. While, Lionel Messi and Marcos Acuña trained separately.
Although the coach did not participate in the press conference prior to practice for being suspended by Conmebolthe truth is Walter Samuel, his assistant, did speak to reporters and assured that they will follow the captain closely and daily to find out if they arrive in condition for the quarterfinal match, an event to which the National Team is already classified.
Scaloni and a long talk with Garnacho before Peru
Aside from the situations of Messi and Acuña, the truth is that Scaloni I had anticipated that I wanted to see players who did not add so many minutes in the first games. So, it was not too surprising to see how the coach I spoke at length with Alejandro Garnachowho was later included among the possible starters for the next match.
The truth is that, when it comes to stopping an eleven in practice, Garnacho was positioned in the attackwhile Scaloni also surprised with the presence of Valentín Carboni as a midfielderalthough its presence is not assured.
The left midfielder is where Scaloni tested and used the aforementioned Carboni, Enzo Fernández and Gio Lo CelsoThis would be the only doubt in the team.
In defense, Acuña’s absence kept Nicolás Tagliafico in the team that Scaloni tested in training, while Germán Pezzella and Nicolás Otamendi They stood as central, accompanied by Gonzalo Montiel. In the midfield, Exequiel Palacios and Leandro Paredes They would have their places assured.
Finally, in addition to Garnacho, Ángel Di María and Lautaro Martínez will be part of the attacking front for this Saturday’s match at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
