Panichelli dreams of Argentina call-up, reveals Scaloni contact | OneFootball

Surprises and new faces are expected in the upcoming tour of the Argentine National Team, which will be based in Spain and will play a friendly match against Angola in Luanda on November 14. This excites several footballers in their clubs. One of them is Joaquín Panichelli, the forward who continues to score goals and earn merits in France.

A star figure for Racing de Strasbourg and the top scorer of Ligue 1, with eight goals in nine matches, the former River player analyzed his football moment and expressed hope to appear on Lionel Scaloni's next list: "I'm having a good present. The National Team is always a dream for a football player, especially for an Argentine. It's the greatest thing that can happen to you."

Asked on Generación F if he had any contact with the national coaching staff, Panichelli gave a thumbs down: "For the moment, no. One always hopes to be observed, I try not to think about it and work day by day."

The 23-year-old attacker knows he is the Argentine of the moment in Europe and that if he continues to aim well in the French league and the Conference League (he scored a bicycle kick last week in the 1-1 draw against Jagiellonia Białystok), he will have his chance in the Senior team sooner rather than later.

However, he is also aware that currently the spot of "third area forward," behind Lautaro Martínez and Julián Álvarez, bears the name of José Manuel López, who is in great form at Palmeiras (23 goals in 55 matches, top scorer of the Copa Libertadores -7-) and had a convincing performance in the last friendly against Puerto Rico (assisting Alexis Mac Allister).
