Cunha and Correa are playing in the World Cup

The Atletico Madrid closed break due to international commitments, the last break FIFA before the next one Qatar World Cup 2022, without significant disasters in the form of injuries and so on. There, good news. Many mattress players have this break marked in red on their calendars as it is important to know their coach’s plans.

Not all regular international of Athletic, whose countries are classified for the World Cup, have a fixed place on the final list. Some had this break to present themselves and have minutes, to point out that they could be there, among the chosen.

And for some of them the news is not very encouraging, they have to wait for the final lists of their countries to know if they can fulfill their dream.

Especially restless should be two players. One more than one. Oh Angel strap Y Matheus Cunha. On the one hand, happy because they entered the last call for Lionel Scalloni and of Auntie, respectively. That means something.

But on the other hand, restless because they didn’t have too much presence in each other’s plans.

In the case of beltOnly 18 minutes left in the match Honduras argued in USA (he didn’t play a minute against Jamaica). In its part, wedgehad a few minutes in the first friendly with his country, against Ghana. He jumped on the field in the 62nd minute and had half an hour. He didn’t have a minute ago Tunisia.

THE ATHLETIC MINUTES

The problem for them is not just the internal competition they have Argentina Y Brazilbut they are having a few minutes at Athletic so far in the course. wedge He has played just 96 minutes in eight games so far this season, none of them as a starter, no goals or assists (he actually scored one, but the referee scored it on the opponent’s own goal). while, belt He was in 164 minutes, with one start, one goal and one assist.

Let’s see if it’s enough for both Scaloni What Auntie Bet on both for the World Cup. In the case of wedge, Brazil He has a plethora of stars in the attack, but it is true that for the coach, the rojiblanco is a kind of revulsive, a striker who goes out and kills games. And there may be a hole.

In the case of belt, the bet is off. players want Dybala, Joaquin Correa either Julian Alvarezor even Thiago Almada (who, not a striker, can occupy attacking positions), they fight for one of the few places left by Messi, Di Maria either Lautaro Martinez. And in this sense, the minutes at their respective clubs and how they take advantage of them will determine a lot of the final choice.
