DBasia.news – Next November, Argentina will fight Uruguay and Brazil, but Lionel Scaloni will still be pushing Mauro Icardi and Angel Di Maria together with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).

Angel Di Maria has been equally stunning. He scored two goals and six assists throughout October. When PSG won 5-0 over Club Brugge on Matchday III of the Champions League, he made four assists. That is not an arbitrary achievement.
However, the collaboration with PSG does not necessarily make Lionel Scaloni captivated. Both Les Parisiens players remain isolated from the Argentine national team. Surprisingly, the La Albiceleste coach actually called in Emiliano Martinez, who is a reserve goalkeeper at Arsenal.
Angel Di Maria strengthened the Argentine national team for the last time in the 2019 Copa America. He appeared in five of the six matches played by La Albiceleste. Afterwards, he was eliminated. In fact, he only needed one more match to win 100 appearances for the Argentine national team.
Meanwhile, Mauro Icardi appeared for the last time with the Argentine
national team against Mexico on November 21, 2018. In that match, he scored one
goal. Afterwards, as the conflict with the management of Inter Milan and then
exiled, he was also eliminated from the La Albiceleste squad.
