Argentina vs Chile: schedule, training and how to watch it live – 09/05/2019

In a year, the panorama changed for Lionel Scaloni and his work group at the head of the National Team. From minor to major the coach born in Pujato, who is starting his career and who after a successful Copa América was ratified for the Qualifiers, was taking steps.

The tour of the United States, the first of three that it will have until the end of the year, is very different from those it faced when it took over interimly after the 2018 World Cup in Russia and the experience in L'Alcudia with the U20. that his search changed flatly was reflected in the starting lineup he chose to play against Chile, at the Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, today at 23 in Argentina.

The technician decided to put most of the usual headlines in the first duel to give continuity to an idea and then yes, in the second meeting on Tuesday, before Mexico, in San Antonio, try new names.

“It is a different situation than last year. Before we wanted to couple most of the players and now we want to join the team. Even so, there will be five changes according to the last game and that's enough, ”Scaloni explained at the press conference.

The triumph over Chile in São Paulo, for third place in the Copa América, is repeated by Nicolás Otamendi, Nicolás Tagliafico, Rodrigo De Paul, Leandro Paredes, Giovani Lo Celso and Paulo Dybala. They are not Franco Armani (will be preserved by a nuisance), Juan Foyth (injured), Germán Pezzella (to the bank), Lionel Messi (suspended) and Sergio Agüero (not summoned). And they enter Agustín Marchesín, Gonzalo Montiel, Lucas Martínez Quarta (debuts), Lautaro Martínez and Joaquín Correa. The scheme will remain the 4-3-3 that seduces him the most.

In his first six interim commitments. Scaloni’s goal was to apply the deep replacement so demanded after the giant globalist disappointment. Scaloni repeated that his premise was to test players to see which ones had the profile to wear – and give up on Argentina's shirt. In Brazil was the test that was successful, beyond not reaching the final, for the game reached. And now The goal is to strengthen that game to arrive in the best way to the Qualifiers that will begin in March.

"Welcome is the confirmation, because it can be planned differently," Scaloni said of the AFA's decision to secure him in office until the World Cup. He also said that due to "personal problems", Otamendi will play this game and then be disinfected.

And he denied that River has requested the return of Armani: “I have no knowledge about that. Franco is here and it is very important for us. He was the starter in the Cup. He stays and never spoke otherwise. He already trained normally. ” Of course, it will not cut the second friendly to avoid risks having the Superclassic cuppers. "On Tuesday we will try Andrada," said the coach.

Ratified in his position, Scaloni goes out to the court with the fixed idea: now he has to finish finding the team.
