One of the most important issues for the coaches of the selected teams in the world is to seize the moment of the footballers. And that's what Lionel Scaloni did when he sent Correa, Angel and Joaquín to the field, perhaps the two most current Argentine players. One breaks it in Atlético de Madrid and the other began to pay with goals the millions of dollars that Inter de Milan will pay for him; both were present on the scoreboard in Caracas. It took a handful of minutes for both of them to convert and
warn the Pujato-born coach that they are here to further expand the alternatives that the national team gives him.
It was 16 minutes when Scaloni sent Angel and Joaquín to the field. The day-to-day manager of Diego Simeone played all 3 Atlético de Madrid games in the Spanish League: he scored three goals and gave an assist. The former Students, meanwhile, came to Inter on loan with a purchase obligation of 30 million euros and the day after meeting his new teammates he converted a 3-1 double against Hellas Verona.
Yes, they came to Venezuela with confidence
and Scaloni was smart to understand it and act accordingly.
One caveat: they entered to play as outside midfielders when they play forwards in their clubs.
They didn't care.
The first to score was Joaquín
, who entered through the middle of the area, received a touch from Lautaro and nailed it down, right and powerful.
He had been on the court for 9 minutes.
This is how Joaquín Correa made it 2-0 against Venezuela.

Ángel scored a fisherman's goal
, a goal that just comes out when they are on a positive streak.
Because Wuilker Fariñez gave a rebound after a shot by Martínez and the ball was served to the 26-year-old Rosario.
How long did
Angelito
take
to celebrate?
12 minutes.
GOAL FROM ARGENTINA!

The Correa goals are important for the confidence of the footballers who have not finished consolidating themselves in the National Team.
Joaquín has had more filming in recent times and has emerged as the natural replacement for Lautaro Martínez due to the multiple injuries of Lucas Alario.
Angel had a harder time finding his space, perhaps because of the fierce competition he has in his position. The one born in San Lorenzo feels more comfortable playing as second strikers, where Lionel Messi plays and Paulo Dybala, Julián Alvarez and Alejandro Gómez appear, always according to the chosen scheme. But the Correa are
on fire
in Europe. And they continue on a streak in South America.
