Alejandro Garnacho had his official debut against Bolivia and will no longer be able to play for another national team

In Tuesday’s match against Bolivia, corresponding to the second date of the South American Qualifiers, striker Alejandro Garnacho was shielded for a long time to play with the Argentine National Team. The Spanish attacker nationalized Argentine, who currently plays for Manchester United, entered in the 84th minute and had his debut in an official competition with the national team. It should be remembered that the official FIFA regulations detail that a footballer can decide to change nationality as long as he has not “played a maximum of three times for the first before turning 21, including qualifying matches”. Therefore, Garnacho will only be able to represent Argentina from this moment, since he had previously added minutes in the friendlies against Indonesia and Australia last June. I didn’t doubt anything because I feel Argentine, because I’m Argentine. They bet on me and I was clear, it is a very big team and a very good opportunity. I do not need to play three games, if I do not debut on this tour it does not matter: I already know that I want to be with Argentina, “explained the footballer a few months ago in a talk with the media TyC Sports.
