The future has already arrived
.
The friendly against El Salvador, a rival that is far from being measured for a world champion, served at least for
Lionel Scaloni to give prominence to some of the youth players
who appear from behind the old guard.
Thus, the coach decided to give
Alejandro Garnacho, Valentín Barco and Facundo Buonanotte
some filming so that they could join the structure commanded by Lionel Messi.
Nehuén Pérez
was the only one who had the privilege of being a starter.
Emerging from Argentinos Juniors and now established in Udinese, the 23-year-old boy showed his versatility.
First as a marker on the right and then as the first center back.
He did not have much work in his second appearance with the light blue and white - the previous one had been against Honduras, before Qatar 2022, when he had added 26 minutes-.
But it is an alternative considering that Montiel and Foyth seem to be far from his full potential.
For Garnacho, it was his fourth appearance with the light blue and white and the first after a summons in which he was not summoned.
The
blond
from Manchester United entered after the break
in place of Nico González and showed some of the pieces of his repertoire, which includes speed and overflow, from the left sector of the offense.
They were also
his first 45 minutes in a row
with the light blue and white, since until arriving in Philadelphia he had only added 16 minutes against Australia, half an hour against Indonesia and five minutes against Paraguay, already in the Qualifiers.
The boy who was born in Madrid 19 years ago is clearly an option.
For Barco, on the other hand, the match will be unforgettable
.
It was his absolute debut in the Major in his first call-up.
The boy trained in Boca and who for now has not been able to establish himself in Brighton entered 10 minutes into the second half for Nicolás Tagliafico who was already standing at left back.
He moved more through the center of the field and was seen, as always,
disrespectful to Colo , who actively participated in the
Scaloneta
game circuit .

Buonanotte had less time
, who played 26 minutes in his second appearance for the National Team - he had started against Indonesia.
The former Central, with a good presence in Brighton, replaced Rodrigo De Paul and looked somewhat imprecise as a right winger.
