The results allow us to understand that it was The beginning of the perfect competition. This approach is probably correct from a purely statistical point of view. However, the gain Argentine national under-17 team In the World Cup category held in Qatar, it goes beyond two valuable influences that allowed it to qualify for the round of 16 and the final and win at the end of the fourth group that put the spotlight on the scene. In fact, what motivates us most are the important signals given by the men we lead Diego Placente And in each of the matches: Return to the sources of the youth teams.
In the first step, against Belgium, he had to fight hard to win 3-2, against an opponent who was physically superior to him in size and strength. but, The patience of the coach who spreads calm from inside the field And he opened the way for him. Because he had the clarity to find the pieces that would break the game apart, and within three minutes, he led the company forward. There was no despair, and no contact was used to reduce the difference. The match on the ground was the formula for achieving victory.
Without hysteria and with the concrete idea of understanding that this competition is a test, He did not allow himself to be won over by the impressive performances of Facundo Janekoski, from Argentinos Juniors, and Felipe Esquivel, from River.in the first commitment, but he stuck to the business plan and the rotation was maintained. Because the idea is for all the boys of the Argentine national team to find a place to play, understand what it means to compete in a competition of this size, and understand the methods that want to be promoted in the training stages in order to repeat them when they reach the big teams.
Nor the euphoria of winning in her first appearance in a competition of this size in this category. After 16 years It made the team dizzy. Because the team’s work in the confrontation with Tunisia was also very dangerous. It’s not important that the coaching staff has players like them Jeronimo Gomez Matarwho has already played 79 minutes in Newell’s first team, understands that he should add more minutes than others, and does not mateo martinez, He already has a contract with Racing (because other clubs wanted him), and the fact that he was the right number against Fiji ensures he gets a place at centre-back. Or what? Matthias Satsfrom Boca, is the team’s captain and projected as a central defender in Europe. Not even Alejandro Tellofrom Racing, in the middle of the field lit up the radar of talent scouts from the old continent lurking in Qatar, as is the case in every youth competition.
Although she seeks energy doses so as not to overwhelm the group in specific situations, what Placenti also sought in this first phase was to give space to Everyone can get their experience. The case of Sagittarius was a good example, even though it started Jose Castelaothe boy who saves at Real Madrid, also added minutes against Fiji Juan Manuel Centurion (Independent) and Valentin Regia (Argentinos Juniors).
One of the most prominent cases in which comprehensive work is one of the slogans found in… The world’s national teamsis that Is Armando Juner, The boy who was born in Germany is part of the Argentine U-17 team. For a long time he was carrying out a mission Recruiting talent Of players with Argentine roots, which allowed the landing of footballers such as Nicolas Paz or Alejandro Garnacho, who were born in Spain and made their debut in the greatest champion team in the world.
Gunner’s case represents the continuity of the plan because he was born in Schwafheim, on January 7, 2008. He added minutes to the German national team in the European Under-17 Championship, but was later convinced to play for Argentina in the traditional friendly tournament in Alcudia, Spain, which the team won under Placente. Additionally, Gunner won the Under-17 Bundesliga championship this year with Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Although he was born on German soil, the son of a German-Argentine mother and a Turkish father, he did receive offers from Turkey, but rejected them due to the temptation to be part of the selection process for the world champion country. The basic fact is that his grandmother is from La Cuyaca, Jujuy, which prompted the AFC to put a magnifying glass on him for two years.
All the elements that Placenti chose for this process are no coincidence. Although it is seeking to achieve the only title that Argentina does not have at the national team levelWhat the coaching staff seeks is to maintain the business idea that comes from Lionel Scaloni in order to nourish the all-time world champion team.
This is what Diego Placente explained after the match: “Today we took the opportunity to give more minutes to those who did not get them. Even with the goalkeepers, everyone was able to get their chance in the World Cup. It is important that everyone believes that they are important. Therefore, when there is a substitute, it does not mean that the level of the team has decreased, but rather that it has increased. “We are glad everyone is doing their bit.”
Now will come the time for the team’s most important demands, although it is already clear that the health research is that this adventure in Qatar is beyond result.
