friendly August 20, 2008
Minsk
Video of highlights in Spanish from Argentinean TVC Sports
English translation:
00:38 Denis sees the ball. He looks surprised.
Denis is one of the 'player #9' that one wants. He had a good chance. Carrizo appears there. Well, a goalkeeper of a big team has to appear.
00:43 63rd minute- Another goal opportunity for Belarussia. This was the worst moment for Argentina. When Basile's team was most disorganized. Belarussia was dangerous on both sides, the left and right.
00:50 65th minute- Cavenaghi, the first time he touched the ball in the game.
01:00- 83rd minute- after the moment of disarray. Organized better and started creating clear goal opportunities. Like this one for instance, Cavenaghi and Licha Lopez.
91st minute- One more, A free kick for Mariano Gonzalez, the last chance for Argentina. Headed by Collocini but saved by the goalkeeper.
A friendly before the 2010 "Eliminatorias", world cup qualifyers. Argentina coach Alfio 'El Coco' Basile doesn't have those key players like Mascherano, Riquelme, Messi because they're in the Olympics. He's testing 'new' players like Denis from Napoli.
Where can I watch the game Argentina v. Bielorussia? Online. It's not broadcast on TV. I'm following it on El Clarin and Diario Ole, both Argentinean sites. According Diario Ole, "Argentina and Bielorussia are boring in Minsk. A slow game without goal chances. Jonas on the left side is creating spaces but lacks precision."
2nd half: According to Diario Ole "El Tanque (Denis) was alone in front of goal and his shot hit the bar. Tevez also wasted a goal opportunity in the end of the first half.
Surprises in the lineup:
Forwards: Denis and Tevez up front. Denis, the player from Napoli, also known as "El Tanque." No Crespo because he wasn't in the call-up list.
Basile announed the starting Lineup:
Zanetti -- Burdisso -- Coloccini -- Heinze
Pablo Ledesma (place of injured Maxi Rodríguez) -- Lucho González -- Jonás Gutiérrez -- Cambiasso
Germán Denis -- Carlitos Tevez.
Monica_Kun's predictions:
Carrizo in goal
final score: Argentina win again by 3-0. It looks difficult because in the 33rd minute it is still a goalless draw 0-0.
