“They actually insulted him because he loves Ronaldo instead of Messi. That was strange. No young player has ever received these type of insults”-Argentina fans offer strange reply to Alejandro Garnacho substitution vs El Salvador
During the second half, Alejandro Garnacho made a big impact for Argentina as they beat El Salvador 3-0 in a friendly game on Friday night.
This season, Garnacho has been Manchester United’s best player, becoming an important part of Erik ten Hag’s striking trio. Recently, he has done great things on the right side, filling in for Antony’s drop in form.
Garnacho has scored seven goals and set up four others across a number of events, showing both his creativity and his ability to score goals. United’s attacking danger has grown a lot thanks to his growing partnership with Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Højlund.
Garnacho has solidified his spot at Old Trafford, but now he wants to make it into Argentina’s starting group. Even though he has been on recent squads and received his first call-up before securing his spot at Manchester United, he is still behind the other players in the national team order.
Lionel Scaloni, the manager, put Garnacho in as a replacement against El Salvador. He played for 45 minutes in the second half after taking Nico González’s place. But some Argentina fans were unhappy with this choice, which got a lot of attention on social media.
According to a post by the Argentine football-focused account AlbicelesteTalk, some fans were against Garnacho’s addition, saying that he was too good and not needed. But Garnacho quickly put his critics to rest with a great second half showing.
During his time on the pitch, the 19-year-old showed how good he was by getting 37 touches and making 26 of 29 passes. He was especially important because he had 11 touches inside El Salvador’s penalty area and set up two chances to score.
As Garnacho continues to do well this season, people are starting to see how good he could be, and some are even excited about his future. Fans of United and manager Erik ten Hag will be happy to see Garnacho do well at club and international levels. They expect him to become one of the best wingers in the Premier League and the world.
While people were talking about Garnacho’s replacement, Argentina fans came up with a strange explanation: they said the criticism was because he liked Cristiano Ronaldo more than Lionel Messi, which they thought was strange and not fair.
