In the third round of the South American World Qualifiers, Argentina won 10 against Paraguay. The victory was supposed to be a moment of celebration, however, there were problems with Argentina's forward line. The goals of Lautaro and Alvarez in the national team did not go well, which caused concern and doubts.
As Argentina's manager, Scaloni has also been criticized. He has been accused of having problems with the use of centre-forward players. Instead of opting in Icardi and Retegui, Scaloni continued to stick with Lautaro and Alvarez. However, this decision led to an embarrassing situation in which Argentina's own striker did not score.
Icardi and Retegui are important players for Inter Milan and Manchester United, and their ability and quality are beyond doubt. However, Scaloni doesn't seem to be optimistic about them, much to the fans' confusion and disappointment. They believe that if Icardi and Retegui can play, perhaps Argentina's forward problem can be solved.
In addition to Scaloni's choice, Argentina's own center also needs to be reflected and improved. Lautaro and Alvarez as strikers should take responsibility for the goal. However, in this game, they were not able to make the most of their strength, which put the team in an awkward situation.
In the World Qualifiers in South America, every match counts. Argentina, as a strong team in South American football, they have to solve the problem of the forward line. Only when the offensive end is strengthened will they be better able to cope with the challenges of other strong teams.
Despite the problems that arose in this match, the Argentine team was not discouraged by it. They have a lot of good players and a strong squad, as long as they can be united, I believe they will be able to overcome difficulties and achieve better results. In conclusion, Argentina won the South American World Qualifiers, but the problems of the forward line remained. Scaloni's selection has been questioned and Argentina's own striker also needs to be rethought and improved. However, it is believed that over time, the Argentine team will be able to find a solution to the problem and achieve better results in future matches.
