When the reasons for the misstep in Saturday’s debut still resonate, the Argentine sub 20 team will face today the classic against Brazil in search of recovery after the defeat against Paraguay in the South American Sub 20 tournament that is played in Colombia.
The match corresponding to the third date of group A It will be held from 9:30 p.m. (TyC Sports) at the Pascual Guerrero Olympic Stadium in Cali.
Javier Mascherano’s team made its debut in the tournament that qualifies for the World Cup in Indonesia and the Pan American Games in Santiago with a 2-1 loss and today they will have a quick revenge against Brazil.
The youth team was released on the first date and from now on it has little margin to be among the top three in group A.
On Wednesday they will play again against Peru and on Friday they will close the group stage against the local team, Colombia, playing every 48 hours as indicated in the tournament format.
Brazil began the championship with a resounding 3-0 win over Peru and then he had his day off. Colombia and Paraguay lead the zone with 4 points each.
In addition to the unfair fall, Argentina ended with one less player due to the hard blow suffered by Facundo Buonanotte that caused trauma to his cervical spine and skull.
The former Rosario Central and current English Brighton footballer is still under observation and will be out for Mascherano.
The midfielder had started as a substitute but came on in the second half for Nicolás Paz (Real Madrid), the other “European” from the Albiceleste squad.
Due to the short rest time, the coach will surely make some variations in the starting lineup. one could be the entry of striker Brian Aguirrewho showed interesting movements in the minutes he had to play against Paraguay.
Another who could have his chance from the start is Ignacio Maestro Puch instead of Alejo Veliz.
