The coach of the Argentine Under 20 team, Javier Mascherano, received the good news that Brighton and Hove would authorize Facundo Buonanotte to play in the World Cup of the category that will begin on May 20, and will begin to define the list of summoned will feature Alejandro Garnacho and Nicolás Paz, who were not loaned out by Manchester United and Real Madrid, respectively.
The 18-year-old midfielder who emerged from the Rosario Central youth academy quickly became a fundamental spare part for Brighton who are fighting to qualify for international tournaments in England at the hands of his figure, the world champion with Argentina Alexis Mac Allister .
Although everything indicated that the Italian coach Roberto De Zerbi would not let him travel to the country due to having a short squad for this final stretch of the season, the footballer spoke again with his coach and reversed the scenario.
The midfielder met on Saturday with De Zerbi, who understood his desire to be in the youth World Cup to be held in the country. “Hopes have been raised. It is very possible that he will come. He is almost certain,” acknowledged his representative, Roberto San Juan, in dialogue with Infobae. He only has one last meeting with the entity’s sports director left and then he would get on a plane to join the group between Wednesday the 10th and Thursday the 11th of May with training.
The English club’s agenda played in Buonanotte’s favor, since after losing the FA Cup semifinals against Manchester United, he only has seven more Premier League games ahead of him, in which the player could give the present against United this Thursday May 4 for day 28 that had been postponed and can also be used on Monday 8 against Everton for date 35 of the tournament.
Mascherano now must decide who will be the 21 called for the final list, but it is obvious that Buonannotte will be one of those surnames if he receives the last green light at his club. Máximo Perrone (Manchester City) also has a guaranteed place after receiving the go-ahead from Josep Guardiola, Valentín Carboni (Inter), Franco Carboni (Monza) and Matías Soulé (Juventus), who have already been contacted from around Argentina to find out their situations.
In any case, the list will have to be made known this week and there it will be known who are the 16 who will be marginalized taking as a parameter the preliminary summons of 37 footballers.
Buonanotte had been one of those summoned for the South American Sub 20 by Mascherano a few hours after signing his arrival in the Premier League. However, he had no luck in that tournament: he suffered a violent blow in his debut and had to abandon concentration to continue his recovery in England.
Since he joined Brighton, he has played seven games -two starts- between the different competitions and collaborated with a goal. Currently the team is 8th, but with many possibilities of qualifying for international tournaments: it is two points behind the Conference and the Europa League, as well as being eleven behind the Champions League.
