Funny times for Leonardo Balerdi. While we thought he was launched after his double on the lawn of Naples (3-3), the former Marseillais had two matches on the bench with AS Rome, before experiencing a very difficult evening in the Champions League in Manchester (3-2), marked by a guilty error on the Red Devils’ equalizer.
During the night from Friday to Saturday, Balerdi continued with the Argentine selection. For the Albiceleste’s first outing since the international retirement of Lionel Messi, the 27-year-old defender was associated in the central hinge with Lisandro Martinez. It didn’t go very well.
A 4/10 for Balerdi
Unlucky, Balerdi opened the scoring by scoring against his side. The ex-Phocéen doesn’t have much to do with it, since he involuntarily counters a clearance from Lisandro Martinez. And Argentina ended up losing.
Upon arrival, Balerdi received the lowest rating among the Argentinian starters on TycSports, with a 4/10. “He started the match well, attentive to crosses, anticipation and the first pass. But as the minutes passed, he began to lose the ball and Darwin Núñez quickly put him in trouble. He was very weak in the duels and lost confidence as the match progressed. To top it off, he scored an own goal. A disappointing performance »summarized the specialized site.
