Claudio Echeverri, the recent jewel of Argentinean soccer who has already traveled to England to join Manchester City, will seek to stand out as he has already done with his country to start off on the right foot in the competition. Although his 2024 at club level was not good due to poor performances, he scored two goals, seven assists and was crowned champion of the Argentine Super Cup. However, with the “Albiceleste” it is different since he was present at the Olympic Games despite the age difference and scored a goal. His best version was seen with the U17, category in which he scored six goals and gave an assist in the World Cup (three goals to Brazil) and was also decisive in the South American 2023 with five goals and three assists (one goal to Brazil).
Deivid Washington, one of the stars of the team, will be looking to stand out in the derby to give his country a win in the first match of the tournament. The 19-year-old striker is a standout in Chelsea’s U21 team and, in the last 11 matches, has eight goals and one assist. In Santos, before coming to England, he had very good performances that led him to make the jump very soon, but he was not characterized for being determinant in the results with only two goals in the first team.
These two teams met 36 times over the years in friendly matches, World Cup and South American Championship. Of the total, Brazil won 16, Argentina won 14 times and they drew the remaining six, leaving a difference of two matches. The last meeting was on January 23, 2023. The “Verdeamarela” won 3-1 with goals by Guilherme Biro, Andrey Santos and Vitor Roque, while Maximiliano González scored for the “Albiceleste”.
For its part, the “Albiceleste” arrives with only one preparation match and with the debut of Diego Placente as the new official coach after the departure of Javier Mascherano, now at Inter Miami. A few days ago they defeated Chile by 3 to 1, but, in addition to this match, they also met in November, October and December, months in which they played five matches and won all of them. In July they played in the L’Alcudia Tournament, where they reached the final but lost 1-0 to their Uruguayan counterparts.
The “Verdeamarela” has not had much experience in recent times, since their most recent matches were in September 2024, so this will be their first match after a long wait. In 2023 they reached the quarterfinals of the U20 World Cup where they were eliminated in extra time against Israel 3-2, a team that missed two penalties. Before that, they eliminated Tunisia in the round of 16. In the group stage they beat Nigeria and Dominican Republic, but lost to Italy in the debut.
