On November 13 – a week before the first match of the World Cup in Qatar – football is still being played in countless top competitions. Likewise in the Premier League. Lionel Scaloni has, according to the Argentine sports medium Doble Amarilla therefore submitted a request to the relevant clubs to release his World Cup-goers during the last round before the final round. With this, the Argentine national coach is committed to a matter that, among others, Louis van Gaal has already spoken out about.
On November 13, Brighton & Hove Albion and Aston Villa as well as Fulham and Manchester United will cross swords. There is a good chance that three regular Scaloni players will come into action with Lisandro Martínez (Manchester United), Alexis Mac Allister (Brighton) and Emiliano Martínez. The 44-year-old elector wants to prevent injuries and therefore proceeds to the request to the clubs.
Numerous members of Scaloni’s likely World Cup roster are also expected to show up in Serie A on the same date. For example, with Lautaro Martínez, Joaquín Correa (Inter Milan), Paulo Dybala (AS Roma), Ángel Di María, Leandro Paredes (Juventus) and Nicolás González, there are already six players active in Italy who also belong to the current group for the friendly duels with Honduras. and Jamaica belong.
Within the national borders, people also ‘just’ intend to play football on 13 November. Potential World Cup-goer Andries Noppert still plays the Frisian derby against SC Cambuur, while fellow goalies Justin Bijlow and Jasper Cillessen compete at home against RKC Waalwijk and Excelsior respectively. Wout Weghorst may lead the attack in Turkey in the home game with Antalyaspor. However, Van Gaal indicated last week that he thinks the players have less trouble with the short preparation time than himself: “There is a fantastic spirit in the team. You can already see that in how we play football, it is fairly easy. the preparation is, but I don’t think the players.”
