Messi at his peak as Argentina prepares to face Uruguay and Brazil in qualifiers

This public training argentina national team Presented at the AFA grounds on Tuesday Lionel Messi The next two qualifying matches are against Uruguay at the Candy Box Stadium on Thursday and Brazil at Maracana next Tuesday.

A previous chat with Lionel Scaloni, who continues to test his form, was a strong reaction from Messi, who wants to play every minute of both games and train. These are the minutes before Messi and the ball cross the grass together. It was then that you could see an impeccable Messi from a physical point of view, without any trace of the injuries he has suffered recently that have affected his time with the national team and Inter Miami.

In a game of football dominated by Messi, he was seen finishing with confidence, even scoring a beautiful goal from a scrape and displacing goalkeeper Walter Bennett on another Si felt uneasy.

Scaloni formed three teams with eight players each. Messi’s team had Juan Musso as goalkeeper, Lautaro Martinez, Christian Romero, Giovanni Lo Celso, Lucas Ocampos, Enzo Fernandez and Pablo Maffeo all took part.

It is the fact that Maffeo is in the same team with Messi that has to do with the coach’s “doll”, integrating him into the team through his captain, with whom he first met six years ago, but was not very friendly, at that time Players from Rosario played in Barcelona and played Spanish games in Girona.

This training session saw Emiliano Martinez and Franco Armani each working with specific goalkeeping moves, and we also got to see a very happy Angel Di Maria, who will play in Bosnia and Herzegovina on Thursday. Wearing the white Celeste jersey on the pitch of the Cadetos youth team for his final game in Argentina. He finally fulfilled his promise some time ago. The America’s Cup in the United States next June will be his opportunity to bid farewell to the national team.

Of the returning players (Fidio missed the previous double qualifiers due to injury), the one who looks happiest is Paulo Dybala, who has been out of action for eight months due to various medical conditions.

The teams that appear in the selection

The team is not stopping and will train behind closed doors again at 5pm on Wednesday, ahead of Scaloni holding his usual pre-match press conference at noon. Perhaps after some time, on the pitch, the two doubts that still exist against Uruguay today will be clarified: Alvarez or Lautaro Martinez and Di María or Nicolas González.

With these caveats in mind, the likely formation is to try to equal Argentina’s best qualifying start in history with five consecutive wins, but paradoxically the national team led by Bielsa today in the 2002 Korea-Japan preview Defended, as follows: Emiliano Martinez; Nahuel Molina, Cristian Romero, Nicolas Otamendi and Nicolas Tagliafico; Rodrigo De Paul, Alexis McAllister and Enzo Fernandez; Lionel Messi, Julian Alvarez or Lautaro Martinez and Ángel Di Maria or Nicholas Gonzalez.
