Barco dreams of World Cup with Argentina, sends Scaloni a message | OneFootball

There’s less and less time left until the start of the 2026 World Cup, and the Argentina National Team will have a very interesting test in the lead-up to the big event: it will be against Spain in Qatar for the Finalissima. Lionel Scaloni will have to make important decisions for the match against the Europeans, and it will become clear which players are increasing their chances of making it to the World Cup. One player who will be full of hope is Valentín Barco, who dreams of being called up.

In an interview with ESPN, Colo said: “I’m taking it calmly, you have to perform to be there, they’re all very good, it’s the National Team. I’ve played in two positions (midfielder and left back) and I think I can help in all the positions I’ve played, and Scaloni knows that.” He also added: “First, my focus is here, on continuing to perform at the highest level, but I won’t deny that the World Cup is everyone’s dream.”

Valentín Barco is experiencing the best moment of his career. After inconsistent spells at Brighton in England and Sevilla in Spain, Colo arrived at Racing de Strasbourg and showed his best form there. In fact, with Liam Rosenior, he began to show his ability to play both as a left back and as a midfielder.

This is how Colo Barco referred to the subject: “Liam played me as a double pivot, he helped me a lot to understand the position, everything happens there in the middle, I had barely played there, he told me that because of my technique I could play there. Football is very complex nowadays. I used to sit and watch videos of my mistakes and that helped me improve.”
