Argentina will take the field tomorrow morning


Argentina stumbled in the previous match. Lionel Messi draws with Paraguay at home in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. The match against Peru in Lima tomorrow morning is a good opportunity for the two-time world champions to return to winning ways.


However, there is no way to call Peru an easy opponent at all. The team reached the final of the last Copa America in 2019. Ricardo Gareca, the son of Argentina, is the coach of the Peruvians.


Who will play for Argentina against Peru? How is Lionel Messi's injury now? Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni answered almost all the questions in the virtual press conference before the match. Scaloni understands that the match against Peru will not be easy.


There are several players in Peru who like to play offensive football. The team includes Gianluca Lapadula, Andre Cario, Renato Tapia, Yoshimura Yotun, Christian Keva, Miguel Troko, and Luis Advincula.


Scaloni knows that they can shine in their own day under Gareka. The match will be played in Peru, the capital of Lima. All in all, Scaloni is a little cautious, ‘I think Peru likes to play beautiful football.


They have a number of players who are very good at ball. They will also come on the field with the thought of attack. As a result, we will have a place to attack.


Despite being careful, they have leaked their original XI before the match. Of the 11 players who played in the original XI against Paraguay, nine are in the XI of the Peru match. Sevilla winger Lucas Ocampos and Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Ezekiel Palacios will be left out.


Of course, there was no way out without Palacios. The young midfielder went straight to the hospital after suffering a tough challenge from Paraguay striker Anhel Romero in the last match.


Palacios will be replaced by Tottenham's Giovanni Lo Celso from the start. Ajax left-back Nicolas Tagliafico will replace left-winger Ocampos.


Tagliafico is a player in the original XI. Seeing that he could not play the previous match due to injury, Scaloni changed the team's table from 4-3-3 to 3-4-3. Nicolas Gonzalez, a left-wing player for German club VFB Stuttgart, played as a left wingback.


However, Gonzalez won the confidence of the coach by scoring an equalizer in the previous match. Gonzalez will play well in this match as well, but not as a wingback like in the previous match, but as a normal position winger in 4-3-3.


As a result, Sevilla's Ocampos, who played in the left-wing in the last match, is losing his place. Scaloni’s confidence in Gonzalez is evident in his words, ‘I think Nico Gonzalez played a very good match today.


I never had any doubt about his ability. He is in good form. I think he can be a very important player against Peru. '


The rest of the team stays the same. Under the goal are River Plate's Franco Armani, Benfica's Nicolas Otamendi, and Fiorentina's Lucas Martinez Karta on the defensive side. Gonzalo Montiel of River Plate on both sides and Nicolas Tagliafico of Ajax.


Rodrigo Di Paul of Udinese and Leandro Paredes of PSG will play Lo Celso in midfield. Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez and Nicolas Gonzalez will be with captain Lionel Messi in the attack.
