Lionel Scaloni gave a press conference while he is working on what will be the commitment on Tuesday the 15th before Bolivia for the South American Qualifiers. In addition to talking about the duel against Verde, the coach also made reference to other topics.
One of them was the Professional Soccer Leaguewhere he praised several teams, especially Velez: “Argentine football we see everything. We see River, Boca, Huracán, Vélez… Also Atlético Tucumán de Sava who I think is doing a great job. They are teams that are fighting and above all that play well. Vélez plays well and is doing things very well. It’s on the right track”.
Vélez is currently the leader of the Professional League with 36 units through eleven wins, three draws and three losses. While Scaloni added the following: “We also look at it because we have to look at the local football players, who are sometimes called up if we really believe they are worth it in positions that we need.”.
Serious injury in Argentina
After the Argentine National Team’s draw against Venezuela in Caracas, the Albiceleste’s next match will take place on Tuesday the 15th.. Scaloni’s team will face each other with Bolivia starting at 9:00 p.m. at the Más Monumental. El Verde has just defeated Colombia 1-0 in Barranquilla. So he arrives with a lot of confidence.
Looking ahead to the commitment to Bolivia today, the journalist Gaston Edul revealed very important information in relation to the jewel of the Argentine National Team: “There is very bad news in the Argentine National Team. It was confirmed that Valentín Carboni tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee”.
While he also added the following: “He already completed his studies and traveled. Now the recovery must begin”. Given the fact, users on the networks are sharing extremely negative reactions. The injury would have occurred in training prior to the draw with Venezuela.
In view of the pain, the coach decided to rule out Carboni. Until finally today the severity of his injury was confirmed. The Olympique Marseille footballer will be out of the field for at least six to eight months.
