The match between Ecuador and Argentina is considered one of the most important historical confrontations in South America, despite the great differences between the two teams, whether from a historical or technical point of view, as on the historical level, it happened and there is no embarrassment. The Argentine team is overwhelmingly superior to the Ecuadorian team since their first confrontation seventy-nine years ago, which witnessed The tango dancers excelled by a six-point against the goal of the same result that was achieved in their last confrontation, the confrontation that brought together the two teams last October, which witnessed the absence of Messi, who will be present in the starting lineup of his country’s team tonight, but in general Argentina will not easily succeed in repeating what was achieved last October.
Argentina has not yet reached the stage of persuasion under the leadership of Lionel Scaloni, as the Argentine national team still suffers from weak technical leadership despite the high technical capabilities that it possesses, which is supposed to make it a fierce competitor, whether at the continental or global level, but the weakness of technical leadership remains the biggest obstacle. In front of the Argentine national team, the best evidence of the coach’s importance is the control of Portugal over the European continent during the past few years, despite the fact that the Portuguese team does not possess what the Argentine national team possesses. Also, the arrival of Croatia to the World Cup Russia 2018 qualification confirms the role of the coach, Nicola Dalic, in exploiting the available capabilities before him. The Argentine Federation, it seems, is not fully aware of the importance of the coach’s role so far, so it decided to take Scaloni to the technical leadership after the dismissal of Sampaoli, who was also not worthy of being at the head of the technical leadership of the Argentine Tango.
The Argentine national team achieved a positive draw against the Uruguayan national team in the last friendly experiences of the tango dancers, a confrontation that witnessed a great struggle between the two teams over control of the central region in particular that Uruguay relied on advanced defense and narrowing spaces on the middle of Argentina, which did not have any solutions in depth, but the solution It comes through Messi entering the depth as usual, but the Argentine national team still suffers from the lack of space between lines, of course due to the Uruguayan style, but this is also a negative point for coach Lionel Scaloni, who was supposed to give instructions to a team to move without a ball and that point was that it was implemented in an image. Correct enough to hit Oscar Tabarez’s thoughts.
Lionel Scaloni at the beginning of the match relied on Paulo Dybala on the left side as well as instructed to attack Aguero to move in this side, but Dybala’s move on the left side is not the best employment for him, in addition to Lionel Messi’s entry in the rear with weak offensive solutions possessed by the Argentinian full-backs in addition to Uruguay’s reliance on advanced defense. These points make the Argentine looking for solutions at the periphery. Therefore, Scaloni decided to return Dybala to the right side, while giving Lionel Messi’s freedom of movement in the depths with the continuity of Aguero’s movement on the left side.
Giving Lionel Scaloni instructions to attack Sergio Aguero by moving on the left side comes due to the coach’s desire to benefit more from Lionel Messi’s move in the depths, so the young coach wanted to find spaces in the depth by activating the sides, especially the left side, so the confrontation began with the presence of the duo Dybala and Aguero in The left side did not succeed, but Scaloni’s ideas did not work, so he decided to move Dybala to the right side as well as the idea of Sergio Aguero’s move on the left side did not succeed and did not create a gap in the depth of the Uruguayan national team’s defense in particular that Aguero is not distinguished in moving outside the penalty area and does not have the technical specifications that make an effective element in his movements In the parties, therefore, Scaloni decided to re-attack the penalty area, as usual, and switched the digital form from 4-3-3 to 4-2-3-1 through Marcos Acuña’s move to the left side as usual, after he started the match as a third midfield player.
The digital format changed from 4-3-3 to 4-2-3-1, Akunia’s return to the left side, Dybala’s move to the right side, Aguero’s return to No. 9 as a stable striker inside the penalty area with moves outside the area at times and the continuity of Lionel Messi’s moves in the depth. Ideas and adjustments by Lionel Scaloni, after thirty minutes of the first half, which are of course very important modifications, gave the Argentine national team some offensive effectiveness compared to the minutes of the first meeting, but the Argentine remained unable to reach Martin Campania’s goal.
Uruguay was able to completely impose its style on the Argentine national team in the first half by relying on narrowing spaces, and this is the main reason for the transformation of the Argentine team’s digital form from 4-3-3 to 4-2-3-1, but the negative point of the Uruguayan team is the excessive defensive caution. This made him not able to take advantage of his offensive power with the presence of Suarez and Cavani as a two-spearhead who are only used to win the second ball and move behind the middle of the Argentine national team field, but Uruguay was supposed to have effective solutions in the parties so that they can fully benefit from the presence of this duo.
