Argentina Faces Ecuador at the Monumental in First Qualifying Match since World Cup Triumph

On Thursday Argentina will face Ecuador at the Monumental

Argentina returns to play for Qualifying after the consecration in the World Cup in Qatar and as expected Lionel Messi will be part of this Thursday’s match against Ecuador at the Mas Monumental from 9:00 p.m. The appointment is not minor, since it is the first official match since the final against France and the captain wants to be in tune.

From the Ezeiza property that bears his name, El Diez went to the hairdresser’s to have his hair cut. In the last appearances with Inter Miami, he had sported a thicker beard and, despite shaved on the sides of his head, the upper part of him always had longer hair. Now, he opted for a general lowering, much neater.

Who was in charge of the look was Daniel Alejandro Albornoz, better known in the environment as Dany Ale, who has been the official hairdresser of the National Team for some time. He was even part of the delegation that traveled to Qatar and in recent days he also cut the hair of Julián Álvarez and Leandro Paredes. In addition, it was he who shared the video showing the Rosario cut, who laughs in the recording at a comment that his colleagues may have made.

Dany’s story starts from deep below. She is full of sacrifice and humility, like her when she started cutting at the age of 16 in the Villa Hidalgo neighborhood, in José León Suárez, San Martín district of Buenos Aires. She grew until she was able to rent a place in Villa Ballester with her savings and have her own barbershop. His great leap into the world of football was strengthened when he met Cristian Pavón in 2016, when the striker played for Boca Juniors. “Because of him I entered a club and an institution so big that I still don’t believe it. I highlight his huge heart from him and all his family. Before he had been in Vélez and with players from other clubs, ”he told Infobae in June 2020.

His fame escalated and he reached the Ezeiza property, where he attended Claudio Chiqui Tapia, president of the AFA. “It was he who opened the doors for me. He really gave me a big hand. For me he is like a father, ”he explained in that talk.

Now, he had to work on the head of the best soccer player in the world and nothing less than in the preview of a transcendental duel. It is that Argentina will be measured this Thursday in Ecuador in the first of the 18 games of the Qualifiers, the last that Leo will play. Then, on Tuesday they will clash against Bolivia, in La Paz.

Lionel Scaloni did not confirm the 11 that will play against El Tri at Mas Monumental, but anticipated that the team will be very similar to the one that faced France in Lusail. In the goal, Emiliano Dibu Martínez will remain immovable. In the defense would be Nahuel Molina, Cristian Romero, Nicolás Otamendi and Nicolás Tagliafico, in the absence of Marcos Acuña due to injury. While, in midfield, this Monday the coach carried out tactical work with a double five made up of Enzo Fernández and Alexis Mac Allister. While on the outside he located Rodrigo De Paul (right) and Ángel Di María (left). The question is who will accompany Leo on offense: Julián Álvarez or Lautaro Martínez.
