Holder of a Master’s degree in sports journalism, I fell in love with tennis since childhood and have always loved reading the great stories of this sport. Today, I want to tell them about them, take full advantage of my passion and be as close as possible to the aces of the circuit.
OM central defender since 2020, Leonardo Balerdi has only 2 caps with Argentina. At 25, he intended to play in the Copa América for the first time but on Saturday, Lionel Scaloni, the Albiceleste coach, revealed the final list of 26 players who will participate in the competition. Unfortunately Leonardo Balerdi will not be there and he wanted to address everyone on his social networks.
Originally present in the list for Copa America With l’Argentina, Leonardo Balerdi spent a few days with his teammates and he will have to return home and then find OM. The Argentinian sees players like Christian Romero And Nicolas Otamendi for example being preferred to the central defender position.
Balerdi disappointed
There Copa America kicks off in five days with the first match of theArgentina facing Canada And Leonardo Balerdi thought he could be part of the trip to the United States, the venue of the competition.
