Barcelona star Lionel Messi has said that the Blaugrana could have a complicated game on their hands against Real Madrid in midweek. The Catalan giants are scheduled to face their El Clasico rivals at the Camp Nou on Wednesday night and Messi anticipates a tight encounter with Los Blancos bound to stay compact and play on the counter-attack.

Argentina were able to extend their unbeaten sequence after a 2-2 draw with Uruguay in a recent friendly game. Manager Lionel Scaloni claimed that he is extremely pleased with the progress made by the national team under his regime. Argentina had to come back from a losing position twice in the game to secure the stalemate. Edinson Cavani’s first-half goal was cancelled out by Sergio Aguero just after the break.

Just a few minutes after the break, Luis Suarez was able to put Uruguay back in front. In the last few seconds of the game, Uruguay seemed like holding on for a crucial victory. This would have sent Argentina to the first defeat since the 2-0 loss against Brazil back in July.

Lionel Messi has claimed that Argentina have been able to find an excellent coach in the form of Lionel Scaloni even if the public’s reaction has been completely positive. Scaloni is one of the youngest international managers at just 41 years of age. Most of his career may have been spending spree, but he has started being a manager with the Argentina national team. After starting out with the Argentina team as an assistant in the 2017-18 campaign, he was appointed as the caretaker in 2018 and the permanent role following suit soon.

Interestingly, Scaloni has not been able to enjoy a stellar playing career and he was predominantly known for his time with Deportivo La Coruna, whom he represented in 200 appearances from 1988 to 2006.

Argentina international Marcos Rojo has opened the door to leaving Manchester United when the transfer window reopens in four months’ time. The defender made just six appearances during the course of the previous season and that trend has continued this season where he has yet to earn a single minute of playing time.

Speaking to reporters, Rojo confirmed that he had the choice of joining Everton before the English transfer deadline but the move did not materialise with the Red Devils and manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer deciding against the deal. He added that a winter departure could be on the cards, considering he requires regular gametime in order to stake a claim for a national team role.

Tottenham Hotspur attacker Erik Lamela has praised the arrival of compatriot Giovani Lo Celso from Real Betis and believes the 23-year-old has the credentials to succeed with the north London giants. Lo Celso was touted to join the north London giants over the course of the English transfer window and he eventually made the move on deadline day after Spurs agreed on a season-long loan for his services with the option to buy.

Speaking
after Spurs’ 3-1 win over Aston Villa, Lamela praised Lo Celso as an
unbelievable player and feels he would suit the demands of the Premier League side. He added that he could not make a swift impression after joining from AS Roma six years ago, but is confident that won’t be the case with Lo Celso with a number of quality players around him.

Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham has said that he is learning from the likes of Harry Kane and Sergio Aguero in order to become a better striker. The England international has spent the past three seasons on loan away from the Blues but he will get the chance to impress this term with the club unable to spend on new recruits due to a transfer ban.

Speaking to reporters, Abraham revealed that he had the tendency to lose concentration when he missed a goalscoring chance but the same has become a rare occurrence over the past 12 months, he said: “When I was a bit younger if I was to miss a chance my head would be gone for a while. I’ve been watching the best strikers in the world – Harry Kane, Aguero – once they miss a chance they just stay focused, keep going again and they get their goal. That’s what I had to do and luckily another chance came for me and I took it.”
