“We need them to play. These six games were very close after the America’s Cup. We very much opted to continue with the base that gave us the joy of the cup and there was not much time to bring in other players, but from now on we need everyone to play and from there decide on the football level of each one. As we have always done except on this occasion,” explained the Argentine coach, Lionel Scaloniabout the latest calls after winning the Copa América.
Some phrases that call into question the calls of some players of the Atlético de Madrid who do not have guaranteed ownership. A selection for which Scaloni He has called up the six Argentines that Simeone has in the squad: Musso, De Paul, Molina, Giuliano, Julián Alvarez and Belt.
Of the six, the only one who seems untouchable at the moment is Julian Alvarez. The ‘Spider‘He entered the team little by little, but after scoring seven goals and becoming an important man on the team, it seems that only rest can leave him out for the team. Cholo. It looks like it will continue to be fixed.
The most striking case is that of Rodrigo de Paul. He ‘little motor‘He has not yet found regularity, and his place in the eleven is not guaranteed. If his performance does not increase, he can continue adding minutes on the bench. Of the last seven games, he has only started in three.
Another who does not have a guaranteed position is Molina. The full-back came into the last break in one of his best moments, but has returned injured. The worst thing for him is that the competition as they are will also return Marcos Llorente and Azpilicueta. In fact, of the first six games, he only started in one. You must raise your level to maintain your gap with Argentina.
It has also gone from less to more Giuliano. He has spread his character and enthusiasm to the rest of the team in recent days. If you want to continue being summoned by Scaloni He has to maintain the high level he has shown in recent weeks. It has been key to the team’s good moment.
After this statement, the one who finds it difficult to return is Belt. Ángel has played important roles, but his best games have always been coming off the bench. Add minutes, but few at the start. That’s why it seems difficult for him to count again for the ‘albiceleste’.
It may be even more difficult Juan Musso. The goal was fixed in the calls, but the ownership of Oblak has caused that in Argentina forget about him. At the level the Slovenian is at, it will be difficult for him to take the position even though the minutes he has had have been done at a high level.
