Alexis Mac Allister: Test Match in Indonesia Important!

Brighton midfielder, Alexis Mac Allister, considers Argentina’s trial match in Asia in the middle of this month to be very important as the Tango team prepares for the 2026 World Cup qualification in the Conmebol zone.

Argentina is scheduled to face Australia in China on June 15, and four days later come to Jakarta to take on Indonesia’s challenge. Mac Allister’s name is included in the list of players who were brought in for the two matches.

Mac Allister responded positively to these two test matches. This is because Argentina is preparing for two qualifying matches for the 2026 World Cup in September. Especially after this month’s FIFA calendar, there will be no more international matches until the qualifying matches.

Based on Conmebol’s release regarding the schedule for the 2026 World Cup qualifying match which took place, Argentina first hosted Ecuador, and then traveled to Bolivia’s headquarters.

“I think [pertandingan] this FIFA calendar will be very important to see the team, and adjust the details,” said the player who is being chased by Liverpool told infobae.

“Hopefully during the qualifying (World Cup) the Argentine team will be good. I feel there is a good relationship between the players, there is a good vibe, and that helps us a lot.”

Mac Allister is also one of the figures who helped Argentina win the 2022 world title in Qatar under the tutelage of Lionel Scaloni. According to Mac Allister, the coaching staff in the national team has made him grow.

“They have a big policy, which is team management. They managed to form a team, and achieve a very strong relationship with the players, “said Mac Allister.

“That was the first big step. Then obviously on the pitch they help us a lot, they are very aware that there is a great team, great players and we have the best in the world.”

“So I think it’s more about giving freedom. When you have quality players and a player like Lionel Messi, things are easier.”
