Alan Varela and an unexpected alarm in the Argentine National Team: “I still do not have permission from Porto for the Olympic Games”
J does two thingsavier mascherano at the end of the training U-23 National Team at the Ezeiza Estate: first, discharge several bursts of repellent to combat the thousands of mosquitoes that invade one of the many fields there; second, it approaches Alan Varela and explains something to him. And the coach’s latest action is not capricious: the Little Boss understands that the former midfielder Mouth will be a key piece to seek the gold medal in the Paris Olympic Games. Although there is a problem that has not yet found a resolution, beyond the good prospects: “I still do not have authorization from Porto, but we are working on it. I hope it can happen because I want to be in the Games,” Varela acknowledged.
For Mascherano, Varela is a luxury reinforcement and on top of that he does not cancel one of the three places he has to take footballers over 23 years of age. In the ideal of the DT, He is the central midfielder to support the striker Thiago Almada, another of the references. It will remain to determine who occupies the sides, with Ezequiel Fernandez and Christian Medina as main alternatives. “Javier wants me to play like I do on my team and to enjoy being on the National Team. He advises me on that side,” he said.
“Wearing this shirt is the nicest thing that can happen to a footballer. I haven’t spoken to the Porto leaders yet, but they already know what I want,” said Varela. And he expanded: “Argentina always has to be at the top, so we are going to try to get on the podium, hopefully in first place”.
In any case, there is peace in the AFA because they consider that Varela will finally have authorization from Porto to be in France. But this will only be known in the coming days. It happens that at the same time the Portuguese cast could sell it for the value of the termination clause (70 million euros). It is remembered: Arsenal, Liverpool and Barcelona carried out polls for him.
“It’s a nice thing that this happens. It means that I’m doing things well on my team. It makes me want to continue improving day by day to be able to fulfill the dream of playing for one of the great teams in Europe,” Varela told him. to Clarion from Ezeiza. And he clarified: “I don’t know anything about what may happen in the future: I have my head set on Porto and the National Team.”
If he receives the OK and continues in Porto (he played 44 games and scored 2 goals), Varela would miss the final of the Portuguese Super Cup against Sporting Lisbon on August 3. He would also not be there for the preseason and the start of the league on August 10, just one day after the final of the Olympic Games.
Definitive hours are coming for Varela and the U-23 National Team. Mascherano wants it and the footballer wants to be there. Will Porto’s permit arrive? Everyone is betting on yes.
