It was first discarded the Monumentalwhere the team Lionel Scaloni He played at home in the victories against Ecuador and Paraguay, in the first two FIFA dates. It is that the stadium of River Plate will house the Taylor Swift recitals on November 9, 10 and 11, so the playing field will be damaged.
The scenario was also analyzed Mario Kempes from Córdobabut the idea of making a longest trip It would not have been to the liking of the players.
The thing is that if the Albiceleste were to play in that province, they would have to travel to that city a day before and return the following morning to the Ezeiza site, to leave 48 hours later for Rio de Janeiro to face Brazil at the Maracaná for the sixth day.
And this hustle and bustle, which would be added to the already long trips that the team’s players will bring from Europe, is what the Argentine national team’s coaching staff intends to alleviate to some extent.
