A good and a bad for Lionel Scaloni It occurred on the day of Champions League this Wednesday. The National Team coach and his work group carefully followed the European matches to look at those called up. The positive was the goal Alexis Mac Allister in Liverpool’s victory, while the negative came with the injury of Nicolas Gonzalez in Juventus that could leave him out of the double knockout date.
The world champion midfielder was once again key for the English team, this time against Bologna (Santiago Castro entered the complement). Mac Allister opened the account with a very nice goal due to the construction of the play. It was his first cry in the top European competition. He himself was the one who started it and then he shot towards the center of the area to continue the attack. There he received Salah’s delivery and defined almost on the line. The Egyptian was the great figure of the match as he also scored the second that gave his team the final 2-0.
The black point of the day for the Argentines came in Juventus’ 3-2 victory with one less as a visitor over Leipzig. Nico González, summoned for the October Qualifiers commitments, lasted just 11 minutes on the field. After an effort to chase the German left back David Raum, the former Argentinos Juniors fell to the floor holding the thigh of his right leg.
With gestures of pain and anger, the Argentine gave Federico Gatti to understand that he had felt a strain in his right quadriceps and, after being treated by the Italian team’s medical team, he gave his place to the Portuguese Francisco Conceicao. The studies will verify the degree of the injury and whether he will be able to travel to play for Argentina or if he will have to be sidelined by Scaloni.
Juve had started down on the scoreboard as the local team took the lead with a goal from Sesko. Vlahovic temporarily equalized and then the Italians were sent off to Di Gregorio. The Germans scored the second with a Sesko penalty. But Juventus was able to turn it around with the achievements of Vlahovic and Conceicao.
