After the poor level they showed on the Asian tour against Japan (2-5 win and goalless draw), the Argentina Sub 23 Team had to get up from the hard blow and begin to straighten the course with the aim of reaching the best way to the South American Pre-Olympic of Venezuela, which will be from January 20 to February 11. And to wipe the slate clean, the team responded in Caseros: Ecuador was beaten 3-0 in the first of the two friendlies.
In relation to the November defeat, Javier Mascherano got his hands on the squad and only three players repeated compared to the last match. Unlike on that occasion, the coach chose to call the majority of players who are competing in the local championship, since Thiago Almada -world champion a year ago in Qatar- was the only one of the 11 who started who works at the international level.
In the first half, Argentina showed its individual hierarchy and also some group flashes that invite us to get excited about the goal of qualifying for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. However, the goals came through set pieces. On the one hand, Luciano Gondou, the Argentinos Juniors forward, took advantage of the nap of the Tri defense to push in a center from Almada. For the other, Mark of Caesaranother kid from Bicho, hit a good header after a send from Valentine Boat.
In addition, the Little Chief’s team began to have problems. Soccer? No. What happened is that several key pieces felt the strain, since Baltasar Rodríguez (blow to the left ankle), Fede Redondo and Gondou (blow to the right ankle) had to be replaced due to different physical issues. And with an Ecuador without spark and a more determined Argentina, Santi Castro, Vélez scorerdecorated the win to seal an important victory.
