Lionel Scaloni chose the best current Argentine player and it's neither Messi nor Dibu Martinez

The season is coming to an end in Europe and a new FIFA date is approaching for the Argentine National Team. In this context, Lionel Scaloni is already thinking about the next call-up for the Albiceleste's mini tour of Asia. Although the base continues to be that of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, the presence of a footballer who could not say he was present at the World Cup event was confirmed.

In the absence of the announcement of the list, the journalist Bruno González García made official the presence of Alejandro Garnacho as the first summoned of Scaloni for the matches against Australia in Beijing and Indonesia in Jakarta. The Argentine naturalized Spanish end had already received a call from Pujato's manager along with some of the well-known 'Europibes'. However, at that time he did not debut and his growth to date with Manchester United has been meteoric.

An injury left him out of the friendlies that took place in the country after winning the World Cup and then Erik Ten Hag did not authorize him to travel to the Under 20 World Cup that is taking place in the country. Now, everything points to the fact that in June he will finally make the long-awaited debut with the major alongside Lionel Messi and his company.

Why did Garnacho choose Argentina over Spain?

"He decides to go with Argentina because he really feels it. For him it has not been a trauma at all, quite the opposite. When that possibility opens up for him, imagine, being able to play with a team like Argentina, his entire maternal family, his grandparents, he has felt them since he was little and for him it is not a problem, it is a blessing”, Garnacho's agent -Quique de Lucas- recently recounted in dialogue with Relevo.
