Alejo Véliz made his Argentina U20 debut against Uzbekistan last Saturday. The 19-year-old striker has 14 goals in 53 appearances with the Canalla shirt.

He is hoping to emulate Lionel Messi, Sergio Kun Agüero and Javier Saviola as top scorers in a youth World Cup before making a career in Europe. He scored in the provisional draw of the 2-1 final against the Uzbeks. The first step was taken. This Tuesday it is time to go out again to the field to try to get the qualification to the eighth.
