Argentina started with a smile

It was not easy for Argentina. For children the debut in Sub 20 world as a local, in front of their people, with the weight of knowing that they have not won this possibility on the field (they have not been able to qualify for the South American Cup) but they have reached it by being able to ask. for the venue once resolved by FIFA, get it from Indonesia. Yes, even the technician Javier Mascherano he resigned after that disappointing experience… However, the albiceleste overcame a difficult start and started with a smile.

in front is uzbekistan, the Asian champion, a well-developed rival, with clear concepts, with the ability to disturb. In fact, Argentina began to lose due to a defensive lack of concentration. Everyone is left asking for a non-existent forward position while Makhmudjon Makhamadjonov He took a shot that hit the near post.

The first great virtue of Argentina That is he knows how to react quickly. He managed to tie it up immediately with a cross from Agustín Giay (San Lorenzo’s right back) that was headed by Alejandro Veliz and turned into a goal with little suspense. And near the end of the first half, he found the second: Valentín Barco (Boca’s left side) enabled from the left and Valentin Carboni (creative midfielder for Inter Italy) broke through and fired a left-footed bomb that rose high.

There the ghosts were removed from the stadium Mother of the Cities of Santiago del Estero and the party itself gained strength, the sky-blue and white party. Of course, there wasn’t much left in Argentina either. The team was unstable at times. Uzbekistan came forward and created something to equalize.

The best of Argentina by the way Brian Aguirrethe bold right winger from Newell’s who caused some trouble with a combination of acceleration and speed. Mascherano He made five changes, although he never once decided to give a minute to Román Vega, the left-back marker who plays for Barcelona B. His possession was in doubt in the first place, he ended up as a substitute bench and did not enter. I’m sure you’ll have a chance.

The DT of Argentina explanation: “We know that he is a tough opponent. We don’t expect anything else. He is the Asian champion. This is the first game, difficult because of the anxiety of the boys. Victory is important for confidence, to keep growing. Of course, we have to improve, but sometimes we get the line of play that we are looking for and positively return the result against an opponent that does interesting things.”

Now Argentina will play again on Tuesday, against Guatemalawho in his debut fell 2-1 against New Zealand. There Mascherano’s boys will look for another joy.
