Who is Matías Soulé, the jewel of Juventus and the National Team who is compared to Di María

In the Argentina national team the most prominent players are those who became champions of America, including Messi, Di María, Paredes and De Paul. But in addition to those who were consecrated in Brazil, there are also young talents on the squad who are just starting their careers with the albiceleste, such as Matías Soulé Malvano.

The native of Mar del Plata, who currently has 18 yearsHe had his first training sessions at the Banco Nación Club in the coastal town, and it was his father Norberto who transmitted his passion for football to him.

His first steps were taken in Argentinos del Sud and then he went to Kimberley, a famous institution of the seaside resort, although his entry on the football map was made when he signed to play in the lower ranks of Velez Sarsfield.

At the age of 15 he migrated to join the youth categories of the Juventus, but being in Italy he had to deal with some injuries and could not show himself before the covid-19 pandemic arrived. However, by overcoming the impact of the appearance of the coronavirus, it began to show its qualities.

Soulé left Argentina as a classic hitch and since his arrival at Juventus he has played a lot of extreme on both bands, which has awakened some comparisons with Di Maria, also motivated by their physical build and technical qualities.

Although he still could not make his professional debut with the Juventus first team, for several months he has participated in some of their training sessions, in which he came to meet Cristiano Ronaldo before the Portuguese star left for Manchester United.

This course has played 16 matches in different youth competitions and has scored four goals, including one against Chelsea in the UEFA Youth League. Total, He has already played 46 youth games in the Turin team and scored nine goals.

In addition, Massimiliano Allegri took him to the substitute bench this season, in the match against Napoli corresponding to Date three of Serie A, which was played at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.

Beyond having been summoned, he is not expected to have much participation in this double date of South American Qualifiers towards the World Cup in Qatar 2022, where the Argentine National Team will face Uruguay this Friday and Brazil next Tuesday, November 16.

And although Lionel Scaloni has summoned him to include him in the national team process, that does not guarantee that he will play for Argentina in the future, since Italy also has it on the radar.

The young jewel of Juventus these days is fulfilling the dream of being part of the squad together with Lionel Messi, whom he was close to all the time during the work on the grass.

For now, Lionel Scaloni commented at a press conference that the summons of Soulé and the rest of the youth (Thiago Almada (Vélez), Santiago Simón (River), Exequiel Zeballos (Boca), Cristian Medina (Boca), Gastón Ávila ( Rosario Central) and Federico Gómes Gerth (Tigre)) was an idea they already had before. The intention is that they can be mixed with the current references because “the future of the National Team is them.”
