The Argentine National Team did not go beyond the draw against Chile in its debut in the Copa América.
It was 1-1 and Lionel Messi was the best of Lionel Scaloni's team, who has intermittencies and suffers when he scores poorly in attack.
Defense continues to be the unfinished business of this team.
And the contribution of Lautaro Martínez was poor, imprecise when defining his specialty.
Then the 1x1 of the National Team after the premiere with parda at the Nilton Santos stadium in Rio de Janeiro.
Emiliano Martínez (6)
: He again showed security, he covered a point-blank shot from Vargas, which ended in the penalty that covered Vidal.
He complied.
Gonzalo Montiel (6)
: He had some interesting overflows in the first half and a good pass to Lautaro.
Then it lost depth.
He had no drawbacks in the brands, beyond some overflow of Meneses.
Lucas Martínez Quarta (4)
: The weakest of the defense, again went far, unnecessary, leaving the gap, with fouls and immediately charged with a yellow.
Nicolás Otamendi (5):
He was good in the advances, quickly and safely.
But in the play of the penalty he did not outline himself well and Vargas escaped him.
He alternated good and bad.
Nicolás Tagliafico (5):
He had not had a bad game, careful in the closings, attentive, with the usual speed, but he arrived very late, he took Vidal and committed the penalty.
Rodrigo De Paul (5):
More leaning on the right in the first half, but he did not overflow and did not connect with Messi.
In the second, he was ranked five and improved.
Leandro Paredes (6):
He fulfilled being the start and first pass of the Argentine gaming circuit.
He suffered in the second half, like the whole team, when Chile took the lead.
Giovani Lo Celso (6):
Of the best until he came out, he came off to put together a game and put filtered, good, lucid and precise passes.
Nicolás González (5):
Very good in the double function to contain the rise of Isla and to launch the attack and throw the diagonal, but he could not finish well any of the ones he had.
And he had four claritas: in two he lost to Bravo and in another two he was clouded.
Lionel Messi (7):
He made a great goal with a free kick, he also had a good game, a lot of deployment, travel and incisive passing.
Lautaro Martínez (5):
Again he could not take advantage of what he had.
Two very clear in front of the goal and he could not define well.
Angel Di María (6):
He entered plugged in and had a single shot that was diverted by a Chilean.
Exequiel Palacios (6):
He entered well and had no problems.
