Without Messi, Argentina is playing to fulfill and prove

It seems strange in Argentina that there is no pressure, that there is none Lionel Messi and he doesn’t come off the bench as a coach Lionel Scaloni. It sounds strange, but that’s what will happen tonight in Miami, at two o’clock in the morning on a Spanish Sunday, when the world champion team goes to the Hard Rock Stadium to face Peru.

Argentina earned a perfect score in Group A as a result of its victories over Canada and Chile. Arrived classified on this closing date of the regular season. That’s why they will face this fight without needing a result, saving most of the starters and taking the opportunity to give filming to many more than the interesting performers that will be replaced today.

Without the Lionels

The albiceleste are harassed by the question that worries them: how can they enter the quarterfinals? Lionel Messi, troubled by muscular discomfort in the right adductor suffered against Chile? In principle, studies have ruled out a tear. 10 have contractures. We’ll see how it recovers. Time until Thursday.

Meanwhile, during these 90 minutes, one is also not on the field. Lionel, Scaloni, who was punished by Conmebol for leaving late in the second half against Chile. Although the field assistant attended the previous conference Walter Samuel the coach on the field will be Pablo Aimar. Among the starters against Chile, only the goalkeeper will repeat in Argentina Draw Martínez, Nicolás Tagliafico and Enzo Fernández. There will be space to see from the beginning to Alejandro Garnacho, Manchester United’s precocious talent who is undergoing renewal and has yet to get minutes. Will have a few minutes to Valentin Carboni?

Peru, forced to win

Peru now looks like a weak team. Just add one point, product of the draw in Chile. Then they lost to Canada. Now they have to win and that is accompanied by the result of the cross between the Chileans and the Canadians. The technician Jorge Fossati bet on a 3-5-2 He won’t have Luis Advincula, injured.

Argentina go through a test that will not change the course of its Copa América in the United States and it will be seen how the unusual starters respond. Peru has no margin for anything but a victory. It is in Miami, in the city of Messi but Leo is not there.
