Why Lautaro Martínez should be the number 9 of the Argentina national team, thinking about 2026
Lionel Scaloni has the problem that every coach of teams and national teams would like to have: the doubt in choosing which striker to use. Julián Álvarez is having a fantastic moment with Manchester City and attracted the attention of the entire football world with his performance during the World Cup in Qatar. On the other hand, Lautaro Martínez is the top scorer of the world champion cycle, captain of Inter and although his performances in the Argentine ordination were not what the fans expected, he does not seem to have a ceiling.
When we start thinking about the World Cup in Mexico, the United States and Canada in 2026, Lautaro will arrive at the age of 29 and Julián at the age of 26. Even in the future, the debate could remain open if they continue at their level, and other young people with projection like Alejo Véliz can join them.
In GOAL We analyze the reasons why Toro’s rank should be respected and remain the starting “9” of the Albiceleste team.
