That’s what I’m thinking right now. After all, the general feeling among everyone in Mundo Albiceleste is that he should not start, or to certain extent not being called up for the National Team.
The next thing like a true professional he answers his critics (us to be exactL) by scoring twice for Manchester City in their 3-1 win over his former club West Ham.

Well it’s nice to see him on fire for his club, something which I will say the same for any other Albiceleste that are within the National Team radar. Personally I would not exclude Carlitos altogether as there is something about him that Diego’s side can benefit from (remember the friendly against France earlier this year?).
But for now, I will still maintain my earlier statement that I would prefer someone else (either MILITO or HIGUAIN) to start against Peru.
Nice performance from Carlitos and I remain a big fan. That said, he should have had least one more goal. One that he missed was practically a sitter. I don't think he is still at top form. What strikes me as more of a positive/negative about Carlitos is that he makes most of the right passes with Man City and seems to be unselfish, while in his recent performances for the NT, he seems out of control and not on the same page with his teammates. Of course that page is hard to read.:)

ReplyDeleteThe selection was trained to play in Ghana, but thinking of Peru and Uruguay
Argentina’s soccer selection directed by Diego Maradona returned to activities for the friendly match in Ghana next Wednesday but with the mind set on the decisive duels against Peru and Uruguay in World Cup qualifiers.
Last night Mauro Boselli and Nicolas Gaitan were summoned to replace Ariel Ortega and Esteban Fuertes, who are both injured.
This training represents the first rapprochement of Maradona and Sergio Batista, coach of juvenile teams, who were at odds since the ”Ten” took on as couch of the national team.
Aparently they were apart because Batista aspired to be the successor of Alfio Basile, but he was relegated by the arrival of Maradona, who also declined to add him to the team of colaborators.
“I haven’t fallen out with the ‘Checho’ (Batista), nor with Brown, nor with the ‘Negro’ Enrique”, said Maradona.
The squad for Wednesday would be Diego Pozo, Ignacio Canuto, Rolando Schiavi, Matías Caruzzo, Fabián Monzón; Enzo Pérez, Mario Bolatti, Vangioni Leonel Federico Insua, Gabriel Hauche and Martin Palermo.
This team played for 30 minutes against the under-17 boys, winning 1 to 0, with a goal scored by Gabriel Hauche.
After the practice, Diego spoke a few minutes with reporters and showed his annoyance when asked about his relation with Bilardo. “We will talk after qualifying,” said Diego. “We are adults, vaccinated and don’t have to give advice to anybody,” he said.
Furthermore, he hinted that from this call many will play against Peru and Uruguay. “There are seven or eight players that I have to put on the list.”
At a press conference, Boca Juniors’ striker Martin Palermo, team’s captain for the next match on Wednesday, said that “Argentina will be in the World Cup no matter what”.
