The Selection Sub 20 of Argentina got off to a rocky start. He even started losing. But he was able to turn the result around and before a crowd that, under an intense drizzle, completed the Madre de Ciudades stadium in Santiago del Estero, tended up winning 2-1 against Uzbekistan in his debut in group A of the World Cup of the category that began to be played in our country.
After a defensive inattention and an error by goalkeeper Federico Gomes Gerth who did not cover the near post well, the Uzbek striker Makhmudjon Makhamadjonov opened the scoring 22 minutes into the first half. four minutes later, A pumped header from Alejo Veliz, the center forward of Rosario Central, caused the tie Argentinian. And after 40 minutes and in the best combination of the nightValentín Carboni finished off a match between lefties in which Matías Soulé and Valentín Barco also participated and scored the winning goal. Argentina’s next match will be next Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. against Guatemala, also in Santiago del Estero,
The team led by Javier Mascherano took too long to adjust to the game. Nervous, with no fluidity in handling the ball, with his lines too far apart, a lot of defensive fragility and players at the same height, he suffered in the first half against Uzbekistan who put interesting technique and good use of space on the pitch.
Only in the second stage, Mascherano was able to rebuild the midfield. But for that the headlines had to come out Maximo Perrone and matthew tanlongo and enter Federico Redondo and Ignacio Miramon. And then replace Carboni and Soulé with luka romero and Gino Infantino. Uzbekistan could no longer control the ball so easily and Argentina had another presence on the pitch. But without much arrival in the area of the Uzbeks. It is clear that the Argentine coach will be testing throughout the championship until he finds the best version of an Under 20 team that could start winning. But that he still has a lot to improve.
