The Argentine Under 23 team, directed by Javier Mascherano, was classified at Olympic Games of Paris 2024, which will take place from Friday, July 26 to Sunday, August 11 in the French country, after winning on the last date of the Final Phase Brazil, which was eliminated.
The “Albiceleste” team only needed to beat their classic rival to be able to access the great competition, since both a draw and a fall left them directly out, and they achieved it with a tremendous header from Luciano Gondou in the 76th minute of the game. after a great center from Valentín Barco. We review what would be the ideal XI that the coach could propose for the competition, remembering that there may be 3 players over 23 years old on the squad, and taking into account who has real chances. To give an example, Leo Messi He is ruled out since he will play in the Copa América and then rest.

Leandro Brey is a great goalkeeper, but for leadership and commanding voice I think it would be key for Emiliano Martínez to be our goalkeeper in the Olympic Games. Here would be the first older player. Mascherano already contacted him and Dibu would have given the OK.
One of the surprises, since the San Lorenzo player seemed to be at a disadvantage compared to other footballers, especially Juan Nardoni, the versatile Racing boy has already shown that he can play well on the right side.
He would be another of the greatest. Mascherano prioritizes him over others, taking into account that Valentini was ruled out for non-football reasons, not playing for Boca. In this way, “Ota” would be the first central defender and would provide a lot of experience and command voice.
The former Argentinos Juniors, who signed in Racing, had a good Pre-Olympic and earned his place in the central defense. He has good feet and aerial game.
Brighton’s new reinforcement had a great Pre-Olympic, once again showing his quality, although he needs to correct his mood, as he sometimes loses his mind. Nobody doubts his presence on the left side.
Probably the best midfielder in Argentine football at the moment. He is breaking it in Boca, and although he will not play in the Copa América, he will have his prize here at the Olympics.
Porto’s central midfielder, who emerged from Boca, would be the “5” chosen by Masche, to form a dream midfield together with Enzo Fernández and Equi Fernández. Good footing will not be missing.
The best news is that Enzo Fernández does not occupy a place, since he was born in 2001 (January 17 of that year). He is already a world champion and plays for a European giant like Chelsea.
It is true that Luciano Gondou was the scorer of the Sub 23 and key for Argentina to be in the Olympic Games, for his key goal against Brazil, but Mascherano would start with the young star Garnacho, from Manchester United, who also has a chance to play in the Cup America.
The world champion is a born winner in both the Argentine national team and Manchester City (and previously in River). Born on January 31, 2000, he is 24 years old and therefore would occupy a senior position.
Having been born in 2001 and not 2000, he does not occupy a quota and is counted as under 23 years old, so his presence is undisputed here. He was the captain of Mascherano’s team and the great figure alongside the scorer Gondou.
