Porto squad wish Tomás Pérez good luck in World Cup final | OneFootball

The FC Porto squad sent a message of support this Sunday to their teammate Tomás Pérez, who is preparing to play in the U-20 World Cup final in Chile.

The versatile player is not among the initial options of coach Francesco Farioli and was ‘released’ for the tournament in this category, in which Argentina is the team with the most titles.

In the young Albiceleste squad, Tomás Pérez was once again adapted to the central defender position in a three-man defense system, responding successfully: Argentina did not concede any goals in the knockout rounds.

The final of the 24th edition of the U-20 World Cup, between Argentina and Morocco, will take place in the early hours of Sunday to Monday, at midnight (Portugal mainland time), in Santiago, Chile.

The South American team could win their seventh title in the competition, after victories in 1979, with Diego Armando Maradona, 1995, 1997, 2001, 2005, with Lionel Messi, and 2007.

After the tournament, Tomás Pérez will return to the Jorge Costa Training Center in Olival, in time to help the Dragons prepare for the Europa League match on the 23rd, against England’s Nottingham Forest, in the third round.
