The Argentine National Team lost his second game in the South American Qualifiers but it is still the only leader with 18 units. Unlike the final of the America’s Cup last July, this time he couldn’t handle Colombiathe best South American team after Argentina. Christian Romero It was the team’s highest point.
Here, the report card of Clarion
Although he was not responsible for the first goal and on the penalty kick he went the other way, he is not used to having goals scored against him. In the end, he avoided the third.
Scaloni included him to mark Luis Díaz, who escaped him a couple of times and also won several. He was the only one cautioned by Argentina in the entire match and was later replaced by Molina.
The best in Argentina. A timer to score, intelligent to anticipate the play and elegant to come out from behind.
He imposes presences as always but sometimes arrives late to some crosses, when he leaves the area far away or like in the penalty, which ends up touching Muñoz.
Once again playing as a three, although they didn’t attack him much on his side, he wasn’t as comfortable as against Chile. And he missed the mark on Mosquera’s goal.
Beyond the heat and the weather, the usual deployment on the right could not make a difference on offense and on some occasions was imprecise. With the heat, he was one of those who melted and that’s why he left.
He played as a central midfielder for Mac Allister, whom they did not want to risk from the start, he tried to scrape, to distribute, also the position of James playing as a false nine, behind Paredes’ back, made it a bit complicated for him.
He still hasn’t recovered his best level after the World Cup. Like the entire Argentine midfielder, he had more failures than successes.
The best thing about the Fiorentina winger was his goal resolution, as soon as he received James’ back pass, he gained speed and finished with just the right touch.
Press, run and assist. He had a good game, with a lot of sacrifice, he almost scored a goal after putting pressure on the goalkeeper and in the second half he gave a great pass to Lautaro that he later couldn’t resolve.
Also pure sacrifice, he runs, leaves and enters the area but he is nine and needs to score. In the second half he had a couple of chances, he didn’t kick the goal and in the clearest one he ended up getting tangled.
He contributed on offense due to Argentina’s need to attack and a couple of times left a gap in his sector for the Colombian counter.
Like Molina, he played more up than down, although the Colombian team did not attack as much on its wing.
He wasn’t ready to play 90 minutes, which is why he only came on in the final part. He contributed his quality but it was not enough.
