Hours before the duel with Poland, the crucial decision of Scaloni and Messi with Julián Álvarez
The coach would decide on the Spider instead of Lautaro, after his outstanding performance against Mexico
Lionel Scaloni, coach of the Argentine team, has already turned the page on the victory against Mexico and is already thinking about what will be the third match of the group stage against Poland. In this context, the manager champion of the Copa América would make a decision that could benefit Julián Álvarez.
The Albiceleste strategist made five changes to measure El Tri in relation to the team that played the first match against Saudi Arabia. However, the rival goal could not be violated and required Julián Álvarez again, this time instead of Lautaro Martínez. The 'Spider' played an important role against the Mexicans and could take the place of the 'Bull' against Poland.

Despite the fact that the lineup to measure Poland is not defined, the former River Plate player complicates Scaloni, since in the minutes he has had on the field he has been more relevant than Lautaro. What's more, his game without the ball was key to Lionel Messi's goal against Mexico.
Argentina now has to reconsider many things, because despite the victory against Mexico, the reality is that the team did not play particularly well. Besides, players like Rodrigo De Paul do not finish convincing Scaloni, and changes are not ruled out from now on.
Álvarez's diagonal unlocked the commitment against El Tri:
Although the flashes go with Lionel Messi and Enzo Fernández, who scored two great goals against the Mexicans, Julián Álvarez was important in unlocking the complicated defense of El Tri. His diagonal, before Leo's goal, made two defenders leave with him and only the PSG striker was left, who put up a work of art to the joy of millions of Argentines.
