Paredes in and Julián back: the XI Scaloni is preparing | OneFootball

Scaloni is preparing three changes, one in each line, with the aim of restoring the form of a national team that moved on to the next round but still left plenty of footballing doubts.

The changes would be Nicolás Tagliafico for Facundo Medina, Leandro Paredes for Thiago Almada and Julián Álvarez for Lautaro Martínez. In a press conference, Scaloni himself confirmed the Boca midfielder’s return to the starting lineup, while Julián would return to the attack because of his intensity in pressing and winning the ball back high up the pitch.

During training in Atlanta, Scaloni held a lengthy conversation with several of the squad’s leaders, including Lionel Messi, Cristian Romero, Lisandro Martínez, Nicolás Otamendi, Rodrigo De Paul, Leandro Paredes and Nahuel Molina, before deciding on the team.
