Marcelo asked that Germán Cano be called up to the Argentine National Team

The experienced Brazilian defender Marcelo asked today that his Fluminense teammate, the Argentine Germán Cano, be called up to the Argentine National Team for his great performance in the Rio de Janeiro team.Cano in the Argentine national team!! Yes or obvious? You deserve itMarcelo wrote on Twitter alongside an emoji of the Argentine flag. Immediately, the official account of the recent Copa Libertadores champion commented on the post in question to support the request of the former Real Madrid player. “Obvious,” said the team from Rio de Janeiro.It should be noted that Cano was vital in Fluminense’s consecration in the continental competition. In addition to being a star in last Saturday’s final against Boca (he opened the scoring in the 2-1 victory), the native of Lomas de Zamora was proclaimed as the top scorer of the tournament by reaching 13 conquests. In turn, the 35-year-old attacker has accumulated 37 goals out of 55 games played in 2023 and is the first player in the history of the Copa Libertadores to score in both quarter-finals, semi-finals and final. Shortly before the Libertadores final, defender Felipe Melo also spoke in favor of the first call-up for Cano: “If Argentina doesn’t call him, it’s better for Brazil and for us at Fluminense. But as a teammate and a fan I have to say that he deserves a chance: he is the top scorer and the best number 9 we have in Brazilian football.”Germán Cano and the possibility of wearing the Argentina shirtDue to his great present, a few months ago there was a rumor of a possible summons of the striker to the Brazilian national team, although the player himself ruled out this possibility. “I wouldn’t accept playing for Brazil. I love my country and the national team very much.” In any case, the attacker clarified that he knows that it is unlikely that he will be called up by Lionel Scaloni: “It’s very difficult because of the process, with a team that is putting together, knowing the players that the national team has and that they do it so well.”
