Leonel Di Placido is the big surprise of the roster that Lionel Scaloni, chose the interim coach of the selection Argentina, to compete in the am istosos Guatemala and Colombia in September.
In fact, the call to be part of the selected surprised footballer himself from Lanús. “I am surprised the call, I told the President Nicolás Russo (President of Lanus) after training”, he told in statements to TyC Sports.
“In Atlético Tucumán, I had a very good year, many teams in me here and outside were interested. My name in the market was very named, I ended up coming to Lanús, where did not help me the injury I had starting,”said the Defender.
In addition, explained why his presence might be important for the Argentina: “lateral rights do not abound in Argentine football and I put a name in that place. Returning to what was at one point I earn me a respect for the selection. Today is (Fabricio) busts, which is fine. I am 24 years old and I have time to continue showing.”
Di Placido hardly exceeded one hundred matches in the first Division, after his debut in an All Boys who suffered the decline in the Super League, although his good performance took him to Atlético Tucumán – played Copa Libertadores and Sudamericana in 2017 – and now to Lanús.
