A few hours after the clash against Panama, the Albiceleste will face the Millionaire, in a duel so that those who are not starters add minutes.
The friendly match that the Argentina national team will play against Panama on Thursday is simply an excuse for the team to celebrate the title of world champion on the field for the first time. The Central American team didn’t even travel with their starting players and Lionel Scaloni’s idea is to play with the same team as in the Qatar final as a tribute.
However, DT does not want the FIFA date to serve only as an opportunity to celebrate, but rather wants to start shaping what the post-World Cup squad will become, apart from the fact that most of the champions will continue to participate in the calls for the following years. And for that reason, the most competitive matchup of the tour, which also includes a game against Curaçao, will take place on Friday afternoon.
La Albiceleste will face River in a friendly match to be played from 5pm on the AFA’s ground in the town of Ezeiza, very close to the River Camp where the Millionaire trains.
The idea is that Scaloni uses a team made up of players who are not starters against the Panamanians and want to see them in action, as well as the youngsters like Perrone, Buonanotte or Carboni. Meanwhile, Demichelis planned to use a mix against the University of Chile in a friendly on Saturday, but the best will surely take on the world champion, with the special feature that Franco Armani will be in the rival goal.
