Mystery in Argentina in case Messi plays or not

It makes noise, a lot of noise, the question mark. However, there it is, installed since shortly after Brazilian noon as a possibility in the preview of the Argentina-Paraguay to be played in a few hours. Play Lionel messi or the chance that it forms a double from the start with Sergio
Omen for the first time since he Kun Are you a Barcelona player? Yes, there is so much mystery in the celestial and white selection that even the genius is in doubt.


He has been achieving it Lionel
Scaloni: no one guesses his initial eleven. When I was an aide-de-camp for Jorge
SampaoliHe got annoyed every time the press discovered the idea of ​​the Casildense. He couldn’t understand why it was happening. Now the game of mystery is accentuated match by match by the Argentine coach.

After the resounding and convincing 1-0 win against Uruguay, there were a couple of injuries: Giovani
It
Celso Y Nicholas
Gonzalez. Beyond their replacements, the debate on the return of Leandro Paredes because his substitute against the Uruguayans, Guido
Rodriguez, it had performed more than well.

On the other hand, the possibility of entry of Omen, who so far only played the final 10 minutes against Chile. Around the Kun was the only clue that for the moment gave Scaloni: “Sure, yes yes” he replied when asked if he had a chance to start.

¿Walls for Guido Rodriguez, or both together? ¿Omen for Lautaro, or both together? Four defenders or five? Those were the main unknowns. Until after the Brazilian noon, from the privacy of the Argentine concentration, the doubt that involves Messi.


Don’t panic: you don’t have any physical problems Leo, but the DT is evaluating giving him a break because so far he is the only field footballer who has played every minute since the national team met again for the double round of qualifying and the Copa América. What’s more, he discussed it with the 10. The decision will of course be consensual.

It sounds weird that Scaloni put to rest Messi right now, with the most uncomfortable rival of the two that remain in this group stage and knowing that it is key to beat Paraguay to go for first place and just cross in the final to Brazil, the most candidate of all. The most logical thing would be that Leo does not play against Bolivia, on Monday of next week, at the close of Group A. It is the most accessible match to rotate soccer players.

Yes Messi Look from the bench, I would go in instead Alejandro Gomez, from Sevilla. Around midnight Spanish there will be some certainty. And at 2 in the morning on Tuesday a game will start that will be historic. The thing is Leo will equal Mascherano as the player with the most matches in the national team: 147. How rare it would be to see the best on the bench on such a special day!
