Gómez and Almirón are old acquaintances of the coach, who directed them at Lanús in Argentina, for his part, Totin Amarilla confirms his good moment with los albos in LigaPro, in what would be the final stretch of its link with the Ecuadorian club, once the university leadership announced that its continuity would not be possible due to the economic issue. His sports rights belong to the Argentine Vélez Sarsfield.
During a press conference held at the national team’s sports complex in Ypané, on the outskirts of Asunción, the Argentine technical director announced the 23 players chosen from abroad, to which later those of the local milieu will be added.
“There are other players who will be there in the future and they will surely be as important as these. These are the ones that we believe from the outside that today have to be for what we are going to do in the games with Chile and Colombia ”, said Barros Schelotto.
In addition, he spoke about the situation of the brothers Óscar and Ángel Romero, who are no club since they left the Argentine San Lorenzo in August.
“I believe that they are national team players, that today unfortunately they do not have a team and they are not in their best version. We try in the week to be able to train them, to add minutes with them, both from a human point of view and from a sporting point of view ”, he explained.
He also pointed out that the idea is “to take them to the maximum possibility that they have as footballers” before the next matches, and then decide.
Barros Schelotto was appointed coach of Paraguay on October 21 replacing his compatriot Eduardo Berizzo.
At this time, La Albirroja is in eighth position in the South American qualifiers with 12 points, to four of the selection that is fifth and is in zone of repechage, Uruguay. (D)
