Behind what can be the Lionel Messi’s last game in the qualifiersthere is another game that lasts more than 90 minutes, which includes a first citation, then pass the cut and finally reach the Ezeiza property. When alone 282 days are missing for the beginning of the 2026 World Cup And with almost a 70 percent From the list of travelers defined, every opportunity is worth gold.
The selection has eight meetings ahead Until the technician decides who will form the final list (it is not yet clear if they will be 23 as in most World Cups, or if it will continue with 26 as happened in Qatar). This Thursday will be the first against Venezuela in the Monumental. Then the time of Ecuador will come in Guayaquil, to close a tie that the scaloneta won by gallop. And then? The two friendlies in October in the United States (Venezuela and Puerto Rico), November 2 in Angola and India and then the FIFA date of March, where in principle the finalissima and another duel would be played …
The countdown started and Lionel Scaloni seeks to draw conclusionsapart from honoring matches by the points against Venezuela and Ecuador. The technician is still searching to keep internal competition well high and therefore stimulates the youngest to compete healthy before the champions. And, then, apart from the fact that 11 could go by heart (in this case two headlines, Enzo Fernández for suspension and Lisandro Martínez in the final stage of their recovery) are missing, there are soccer players who have won a place. And there are three clear examples: Thiago Almadaof player 26 in Qatar to an indispensable in these times; Giuliano Simeoneof being the son of Cholo to transform himself into a help wheel for several positions in the largest; and Leonardo Balerdifrom the kid who left Boca to the Captain of the Olympique de Marseille that is already a recurring variant if they are missing Cuti, Ota or Lisandro.
Julio Soler, one of the alternatives present in the call (EFE).But it is not only about the historical and the aforementioned medium players. There are also many boys asking for track to be partners Leo Messiin what will be the worldly of the best player in the world. And no matter how much most are more for Sub 20 or Sub 23, so they mark their documents, they dream big. And there is the Centennials groupwho carry some calls and a handful of minutes in the largest, but from their soccer daring they look for their site.
Almada became a key piece (Reuters).They are seen together, on the courts of Ezeiza and also in the Ig posts. There they walk with their world -class desires. Franco Mastantuonothe new Real Madrid jewel, the former River that debuted in the greatest and that marked history. Nico Pazthat breaks it in him and to which several Top of Europe wanted him, but decided to stay in Italy in search of continuity. Claudio Echeverriwho has just been assigned to Bayer Leverkusen, who divides his dreams between the Major and the U20 World Cup. Julio Solerthe Lanús Girl that is in the English Bournemouth – it does not play too much – but that works in a position (left side) with few variants, beyond the historical ones Tagliafico y Acuña. Y Valentín Carboniwho was a fixed, who suffered a serious injury after being champion of the Copa América 2024 and now hits the return to fight it.
Nico Paz and Alan Varela, between the fixed ones such as Tagliafico and Lautaro (Reuters).Those five young people are the representation of the new generation, which grew to the rhythm of the records of Messi and the one that has tattooed on 18-12-2022. And today they are on the property, but there are more fighting to return, like Alejandro Garnachonow Enzo’s new companion in Chelsea, and Matías Souléwho stands out in Rome with Paulo Dybala.
And meanwhile, the Flaco López and Alan Varela They are having their first days in the greatest. And they hope to take advantage of their minutes in training to show the DT that they can also be a variant, as at some point they were Taty Castellanos, Beltrán and Equi Fernándezwho strive in their clubs to re -train on the Ezeiza site.
It is time to make it clear that the visa is played in each ball.
Big that fight
Behind the new kids and the Qatar champions who are headlines or first replace If they are not in optimal physical or football conditions, they can lose their place on the payroll.
In fact, on this double date the return of Gonzalo Montiel and Marcos Acuñawho were not in June due to physical problems and tactical decisions. River’s sides, very good, get into the discussion due to their own capacity and also because the variants in the position do not have left over. With Molina holder -beyond that it is not indispensable for Cholo in Atlético -, the four substitute remains Montiel And another option is Juan Foytha central that sometimes stops from side. And on the left, apart from Tagliafico and after trying Valentín Barco -Now was not summoned- Facundo Medina -He is injured-, in addition to calling the young Soler, the DT gives a new chance to the egg.
They are not the only historical ones who must revalidate their place. There are three others that are always part, but that lost a little land and that if they have no continuity in their clubs, they will have it difficult with the growth of the GDPs. This is the panorama to Gio Lo Celso (Betis), Exequiel Palacios (Bayer Leverkusen) and Nicolás González (recent incorporation of Atlético Madrid by Simeone).
