The striker that Lionel Messi wanted for Qatar 2022 but that Scaloni ignored

The offensive power of the Argentine National Team under the mandate of Lionel Scaloni is highly effective. Between Lionel Messi and Lautaro Martínez alone, they have a total of 45 goals, where the 'Flea' leads the Italian Inter striker with three conquests. However, the Albiceleste coach was questioned about not having a scoring substitute center forward.

Although he summoned Joaquín Correa, who is a substitute for 'Toro' himself in Serie A, and Julián Álvarez is also in a state of grace with Manchester City, neither of them has that characteristic that can sometimes be necessary in search of a positive result when the potatoes burn, while outside one who knows about the subject had no chance.

No, we are not talking about Giovanni Simeone, the son of Cholo who was also asked a lot for the selected team thanks to his current status in Naples. This is Germán Cano, the former Lanús striker who is experiencing the best season of his career at 34 years of age. An age at which almost everyone begins to lower the level, he did the opposite.

He arrived at Fluminense in mid-2022, from Vasco Da Gama, and scored 26 goals for the Brasileirao, being the scorer in the most important competition in Brazil. But his merit goes even further, since in the calendar year he accumulated 44 shouts, ranking second in the world ranking, only surpassed by a certain Kylian Mbappé. Great moment, but never warned by the DT.

Cano's desire to be in the Argentine National Team

A few days ago, Lionel Scaloni had revealed the preliminary list of 55 footballers that would later be cut to 26, where the attacker was not. In an interview with a Brazilian medium, he commented in a relaxed tone but hinting at his discomfort: "He could have been on a long list of 55 players, right?" Many think it is true.
