A poor and increasingly discredited product discovers its consequences in the assembly of the list of 26 players that it will designate Lionel Scalloni for him Qatar World Cup 2022. the figure of Franco Armani is the only one who will represent the local mediaa number that highlights the inverse relationship between the presence of soccer players who play in the national tournament, compared to those who are part of the competitive and powerful leagues in Europe. It is a totally opposite situation to the one that César Luis Menotti processed when he had to design the roster for the 1978 World Cup, where Mario Kempes was presented as the only piece that joined the group from abroad.: The Matador, finally a scorer and a figure in the team’s first World Cup conquest, had spent two seasons in Valencia, Spain.Mario Kempes celebrates one of his goals in the 1978 final against the Netherlands. El Matador was the only “foreigner” of that champion teamArchivoMultiple factors invited the coaches to choose between the players who play in foreign leagues over the Argentine championship, just as there are many reasons that prompt soccer players to emigrate. Competitiveness, measuring yourself all the time with the best on the planet, a reason that no coach can avoid. Armani’s presence collides to a certain extent with Scaloni’s primary intention, which was to summon three goalkeepers to play outside: Emilian drawing Martinez, from Aston Villa, in the premier leagueis measured with attackers of the stature of Harry Kane, Cristiano Ronaldo, Mo Salah, Gabriel Jesús and for the current season the relentless Erling Haaland joined. Geronimo Rulli, in Villarreal, of the Spanish League, has rivals from the hierarchy of Karim Benzema, Vinicius Jr., Robert Lewandowski, Antoine Griezmann or Álvaro Morata. The third option could be John Musso (Atalanta), but a broken cheekbone in September took him out of the battle; Agustín Marchesín (Celta) completed the international draw, against Armani and Agustín Rossi (Boca), from the local media.Julián Álvarez, Franco Armani’s former teammate at River, and the last player on the list to leave Argentine football abroadANDRES KUDACKI – AFPThe 1995 regulation change, with the Bosman Law, any footballer from the European Union can play without restriction, it opened the borders and the market and thus made possible greater facilities to emigrate.

If Armani is the only player from the national league, in South Korea-Japan 2002 was about to repeat the experience: Ariel Ortega and Claudio Husain –both from River– were the names of the local medium led by Marcelo Bielsa to the asian date. For Germany 2006, José Pekerman included three elements: Roberto Abbondanzieri and Rodrigo Palacio –Boca– and Oscar Ustari, from Independiente; the same amount Alexander Sabella, who quoted for Brazil 2014 a Maxi Rodríguez (Newell’s) and Fernando Gago and Agustín Orion (Boca).

In Spain 1982 and Mexico 1986, the ratio was 15 to 7 in favor of those who played in the Argentine league. Italy 1990 reversed the model for the first time, with a dozen names that performed in the country –Sergio Batista, José Serrizuela and Ángel Comizzo (river); Nestor Fabbri and Julio Olarticoechea (Racing); Ricardo Giusti and Pedro Monzon (Independent); John Simon (Mouth); Gustavo Dezotti (Newell’s) and Fabian Cancelarich (Ferro).– and 13, out.
