Placente defined the Argentina team against Colombia in the Under 20 World Cup

Diego Placente prepared the team Argentine National Team to face Colombia, for a place in the final of the Under 20 World Cup. The DT will make mandatory changes for the semi-final duel of this Wednesday.

Argentina must rearm in the face of absences of Maher Carrizo, Álvaro Montoro and Valente Pierani in its titular structure against Colombia.

The last bad news that Placente and his coaching staff suffered was the sprain suffered by Pierani in one knee. and it will be Juan Manuel Villalba the one who will replace him, winning the fight against Santiago Fernandez (expelled in the debut against Cuba).

Carrizo, Vélez’s key piece in the Albiceleste offensive, with a good goal contribution, will not be present due to an accumulation of yellow cards. And Placente resolved that Ian Subiabre will come into place.

Meanwhile, to replace Montoro, sidelined by a broken collarbone in the win over Nigeria, he will do so with Gianluca Prestianni. The forward already entered against Mexico and will occupy a place in the starting XI.

Argentina is looking for its first Under 20 World Cup final in 18 years, since the aforementioned tournament played in 2007. In the other semifinal, France and Morocco will face each other.
