Although the team has not yet been confirmed, the attacker Nicolas Gonzalez was part of the headlines in training this afternoon of the Argentine national team and is shaping up to be part of the team that will start the classic against Uruguay in La Bombonera for the fifth date of the South American Qualifiers.
The former Argentinos Juniors is fighting for the place with Angel Di Mariawho showed himself very well after recovering from his injury and is ready to receive the coach’s orders Lionel Scaloniand could be above “Fideo” in the coach’s consideration for the match against the Uruguayans in these three training sessions.
However, the question of the center forward who will accompany the captain still remains. Lionel Messi and Nico González, with Julian Alvarez and Lautaro Martínez as the references in the position and with a great presence in their respective clubs, which would be the main cause of the unknown on the part of the coach.
“I will decide the team this afternoon, but in general terms it is the one that has been playing and I don’t think there will be many changes. We have to impose our game”the coach had declared in the press conference he gave this afternoon at the AFA “Lionel Andrés Messi” facility.
Meanwhile, the team that would go out to play against Uruguay would be the following: in goal will be Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez; Nahuel Molina, Cristian Romero, Nicolás Otamendi and Nicolás Tagliafico will be the four defenders; the middle trident of Rodrigo De Paul, Enzo Fernández and Alexis Mac Allister; captain Messi, Martínez or Álvarez as the center forward and González on the left wing.
The team led by Messi is undefeated in the South American Qualifiers with four consecutive wins against Ecuador (1 to 0), Bolivia (3 to 0), Paraguay (1 to 0) and Peru (2 to 0).
Furthermore, the Argentine National Team has not conceded goals since the World Cup final against France, so it hopes to extend this streak in the two classics against Uruguay and Brazil.
