In relation to the Argentine National Team, the AFA intends that the game against Bolivia, on Thursday, September 9 at River Stadium, be the first to have the return of the public to the Argentine courts. Coach Lionel Scaloni thought it was a very good idea when the president of the entity, Claudio Tapia, communicated it to him from a distance a few days ago.
This would be the first testing bench for the return of the fans in the local tournament, and a good opportunity for the National Team players to celebrate with the people obtaining the America’s Cup in Brazil, after 28 years of drought.
In the coaching staff of Argentina they understand that that match against Bolivia and the previous two, against Venezuela and Brazil, will be decisive to know if the qualification for the World Cup will be one step away, or if the road to Qatar 2022 it becomes more difficult.
Argentina march second in the playoffs with 12 points, six less than Brazil, the leader. And Ecuador, the third, has nine units. Uruguay and Colombia are in the fourth and fifth position, respectively, with eight points each, but with a better goal difference for the Orientals.
In the Qualifiers for Russia, Argentina finished third with 28 points, behind Brazil and Uruguay, which added 41 and 31 points, respectively. The fourth and last direct place was for Colombia, which gathered 27 units. If the last qualifiers are taken as a parameter, Argentina’s projection is positive beyond that so far he has achieved three victories and three draws.
Scaloni considers that the best to face shocks against Venezuela (September 2 at 9 p.m. in Caracas), Brazil (September 5 at 4 p.m. in Saint Paul), and Bolivia (9 at 20:30 at the Monumental) is to return to bet on the footballers who were in the Copa América, those of the historic title in the Maracana.
