LIST OF CALLED
On Friday, March 3, the Argentine Football Association made the provisional list of 35 football players which were reserved for the FIFA date. The list included the Qatar-based world champions and a few kids who will try to convince the Pujato-born DT.
That’s the first novelty Alexander Garnacho, It’s part of the call. The young man from Manchester United is one of the great promises of world football, but he also has Spanish nationality. His call-up is part of the strategy to ensure his presence with the albiceleste shirt.
The other surprises are Maximo Perrone -who recently made his debut with Manchester City- and is only 20 years old and Facundo Buonanotte, the former Rosario Central who joined Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League at the age of 18.
They also stand out Valentin Carboni 17 years old and Inter Milan player and Lautaro Blanco (24 years old)former Rosario Central and who currently plays as a left-back for Elche.
The rest of the list that are not surprises, but which were left out of the list for Qatar, are Nehuen Perez, dissatisfied with the cut to 26 players and Nicholas Gonzalez who had to leave the team due to injury, for the debut against Saudi Arabia.
Scaloni also named injured World Cup players such as Papu Gomez and Gio Lo Celso but omitted Joaquin Correa that he has already recovered and that during Qatar he experienced a situation similar to that of Nico González.
On the other hand, almost a week after the list was published, the DT decided to add to the call Giovani Simeone, who was provisionally listed for Qatar and has been a substitute for Napoli apart from usually adding minutes.
