The reappearance of Leo Messi, who performed nearly all the second half, and the great second of Ángel Di María had been the optimistic notes for the present world champion. The Tricolor, for its half, has quite a lot of room for enchancment.
A aggressive and demanding scene
This was an unfriendly pleasant. Ecuador can have a ’10’ for a jewel with the standard of Kendy Páezwho at 17 years outdated and already bought to Chelsea is postulated as a worldwide star, however who units the tone for the staff is one other Blues footballer, Moisés Caicedoa gladiator who wished to struggle and who present in By Paulone other who’s doing effectively, in his antagonist.
And, due to this fact, the match was thick, fierce and bodily for a lot of minutes. The Albiceleste performed at decreased velocity and, though that they had the distant management, It was troublesome for him to seek out areas within the rock system put into apply by Félix Sánchez.
I attempt Lautaro Martínez when he took a volley that was saved Galindez (min. 25), however there was little else.
The equality, nevertheless, lasted till Di María received drained and stated sufficient was sufficient. The person from Rosario left his pure place to go on an tour to the appropriate level and took benefit of a triangulation with By Paul y Romero Vacation, It isn’t but identified what he was doing contained in the rival space as a pivot, to complete with mastery.
A refined and light-weight play gave Scaloni’s staff a well-deserved benefit. Di María nearly made it 2-0 on the stroke of half-time with a direct free kick that hit the crossbar.
Leo performed 35 minutes
Scolani had promised it and Leo Messi had minutes, the primary of this 2024 with the Albiceleste, because the FIFA date in March had been missed. His final sport with the ’10’ with which he grew to become world champion in Qatar had been in November, when he participated in one other ‘Maracanazo’, within the 0-1 victory within the South American qualifying match for the World Cup 2026.
The previous Blaugrana changed Di María, who had been the most effective till then, and naturally imposed his management in a state of affairs wherein Argentina, very snug, loved extra areas as a result of, lastly, the Tricolor determined to take a step ahead and attempt to suggest some play with out a lot success.
Argentina complied and on Friday they are going to have the second preparation match towards a way more inexpensive opponent reminiscent of Guatemala, with which they are going to shut the earlier mini tour earlier than debuting on the twentieth towards Canada within the opening match of the Copa América 2024.
