Thinking about the debut in the Copa América vs. Canada, the coach of the National Team, stopped a different system for a while.

Test, test and test. Lionel Scaloni is not satisfied with what he has seen and tries to go for more, anticipating the kind of game that may come his way. For this reason, at one point in this penultimate training session prior to the debut in the Copa América against Canada, which took place this Tuesday afternoon at the Kennesaw University complex in Atlanta, he wanted to see something different and stopped a scheme for a while. with four midfielders behind Messi and a forward (Lautaro Martínez or Julián Álvarez).

Indeed, De Paul, Paredes (who will be the starter regardless of the system), Enzo Fernández and Mac Allister were part of this test in the central zone , although at one point Di María replaced Enzo and went to the right sector. The system, which at this point is the big doubt, could be confirmed in practice on Wednesday, which will be the last before the long-awaited debut in the tournament in which the Scaloneta will go for the two-time championship.

Likewise, this type of 4-4-2 is not a surprise or something crazy in the National Team: Scaloni had already used it in the 1-0 victory against Brazil at the Maracaná, for the Qualifiers (November 23). That remembered day, with Otamendi's goal and the incidents that the local police generated with the fans, Lo Celso, Enzo Fernández, De Paul and Mac Allister played , with Messi and Julián up front.

In case the coach decides to play with three midfielders and three forwards, there are three doubts that appear in principle: Mac Allister and Enzo Fernández would fight for a place in the midfield, Di María and Nico González settle for a position in the forward and The mystery of #9, between Lautaro and Julián , continues.

The National Team and the public's fury

When the National Team returned to the hotel, there was a lot of excitement from the fans. As is usual in these cases, a fence prevented the fans from coming into close contact with the footballers. Of course, the biggest ovations went to Leo Messi.
