Nicolás Capaldo, Pedro De la Vega and Tomás Badaloni are observed by a scout from the European country. There was no formal advance yet.
Despite all that is said and the structural ups and downs, Argentine soccer continues to be the focus of attraction. So much so that from Italy there is a scout who is closely following Nicolás Capaldo, Pedro De la Vega and Tomás Badaloni to add them to the Sub 23 .
All three already have an Italian passport and if they accept they cannot change their nationality again. At the moment they are being observed and there is no formal procedure to advance a more forceful offer.
In the Sub 23 they are preparing for the Tokyo Olympic Games , scheduled to start on July 23, 2021. In principle, Capaldo and De la Vega are under consideration of Fernando Batista, although they are not called up for the friendlies that come in Japan . El Pepo even played the U20 World Cup in Poland.
Badaloni still does not have experience with the albiceleste but it was also to the taste of Bocha, who yesterday confirmed that he was going to call him for the two preparatory duels that he will play against the Asian country but the visa to travel did not arrive .
The U23 list for friendlies against Japan
Next Friday, March 26 and Monday, March 29 , the Argentina Under 23 Team will play two friendlies against Japan as a visitor, as part of the preparation being carried out by the team led by Batista.
For this reason, the coach has already chosen the 21 players who will play the games in the Asian country. Of the list, there are only six who are active in Argentine soccer . Joaquín Blázquez (Workshops), Hernán De La Fuente (Vélez), Kevin Mac Allister (Argentinos Juniors), Nazareno Colombo (Students), Alexander Bernabéi (Lanús), Agustín Urzi (Banfield) and Lucas González (Independent). The latter would miss the crossing with Boca for date 7 of Zone B of the Professional League Cup 2021.
“From Godoy Cruz they asked us for 1 or 2 days on the subject of the post-match (against River, which is played tomorrow) and that is why it was not possible, but we would have liked to see Badaloni in this summons,” said Bocha in dialogue with Ovation 90 .
