Paulo Dybala’s return to the Argentine national team was a success: he looked after Lionel Messi’s number 10 and sealed the 3-0 win over Chile . The one who assisted him inside the area was Alejandro Garnacho, “Dybalist” since the cradle : his brother Roberto shared a photo of the Manchester United winger as a child wearing the La Joya shirt.
Alejandro Garnacho is playing more and more minutes in the Argentina national team jersey, the one he chose to wear instead of the Spanish one, the country where he was born 20 years ago. Against Chile, he came on in the 78th minute and was enough to assist Paulo Dybala : he entered the area from the left and passed it to La Joya, who took a nice left-footed shot that went in at the near post.
After the goal, Roberto, Garnacho’s brother, became the protagonist on social media. He posted a photo of Alejandro as a child wearing Paulo’s shirt on X and wrote: “How do I explain to them that Garnacho was always a Dybalist?” and it went viral. Without a doubt, the Manchester United winger is fulfilling a dream.
Later, in conversation with TyC Sports, Dybala commented on the matter: “I haven’t asked him yet, but incredible, beautiful. Grateful, he’s a tremendous player and has an incredible future . It depends on him, because he has all the conditions to make history both in Europe and in the National Team . “
What Scaloni said about Garnacho’s arrival?
“The national team needs no one to relax. I don’t like to talk about substitutions. Today it was Alejandro’s turn, and we need him to get into the team’s way of playing. Today he did everything right, but we need to take it little by little ,” explained the Albiceleste coach about the 15 minutes that Garnacho played against Chile.
