The sun in Bronnitsy strokes again. As the World Cup progresses and plunges into its most captivating phase, the national team watches everything on television and at the same time tries to think. The time that has been spent and wasted can not be recovered. It is badumed that leaders have accepted their responsibilities and will not repeat the terrible idea of once again forgetting the blue and white by their internal struggles and political miseries. It is now time to rebuild. The coach becomes a central problem, of course. However, that of players is an even bigger problem. A generation that has deceived for nearly a decade is rejected. And now what? And now who? Those designated as the future should take care of a heavy backpack. Can they hold the national team tied to the highest hopes? Or will it be a slow, painful transition that will need patience?
Of the World Cup, the essential would be to rescue Lionel Messi. That at 31, without having won a World Cup and knowing that Qatar 2022 will arrive with 35, meditates in peace what to do with the national team. He opted for silence. Do you want to pause and come back to play the most important? Or will he say enough? Expect. It would be invaluable if the new team grew up around Leo, although without super powers, of course.

It is already known that Javier Mascherano and Lucas Biglia have announced that they will not continue in the national team. Could they join Angel Di María. He left an open door to continue Sergio Agüero. There are many people aged 30 and over (Gabriel Mercado, Ever Banega, Gonzalo Higuain, Federico Fazio, Enzo Perez, Cristian Ansaldi) who can not be seen in the future. In some cases, like that of Mercado, because of his experience, he could be considered for certain qualifying rounds, but Qatar would arrive with 35 already filled …
Although in Qatar he will land at the same time. At the age of 34, Nicolás Otamendi's hierarchy will be able to project as a defensive reference opportunity. The Marcos Rojo, who will arrive with 32, is different: as he was the owner of the miracle with Nigeria, he rushed to commit the penalty against France. And do not forget his expulsion in the first half of the final with Chile at Copa America Centenario 2016. If Red does not guarantee consistency today, less in four years. Something similar to that of Rojo is the case of Eduardo Salvio: here he does not answer, and in 2022 he will land on the verge of celebrating the 32. If you are looking to renew …
You should also squeeze the experience you gained here, playing more or less or nothing, players like Cristian Pavón (22 years old), Nicolás Tagliafico (25 years old), Giovani Lo Celso (22 years old), Paulo Dybala (24 years old) years old) and Maximiliano Meza (25 years old).
The game of names and ages takes it to know what awaits the next team. For now, including world champions saved with Messi and Otamendi at the helm, you can build a list of over 40 players that will certainly be detected by the coach's radar. Then it will depend on the DT, his research idea and the system.
Looking at the goal Franco Armani (31) has not ended up leaving a powerful image in the national team. He could start River Guard in the post, but Qatar is too far away. Something similar is happening with Agustín Marchesín (31, Mexican America). Gerónimo Rulli (26 years old, Real Sociedad) and Esteban Andrada (27 years old, Lanús and Huesca from Spain in view) are installed as an option, as well as other possibilities related to their evolution: Axel Werner (22 years old) , Atlético de Madrid), Ezequiel Unsain (22, Defense and Justice), Augusto Batalla (22, loaned by River Atlético Tucumán) and Agustín Rossi (22, Boca), to name a few.

Among the defenders, to join Otamendi and Tagliafico, there are many, but not lateral: Juan Foyth (20, Tottenham), Emanuel Mammana (22 years old, from Zenit ), Germán Pezzella (26 years old, currently from Fiorentina), Mateo Musacchio (27 years old, Milan), Ramiro Funes Mori (27 years old, Villarreal newcomer to Spain), Germán Conti (24 years old, former Colon and now Benfica ), Lisandro Magallán (Boca, 24), Tiago Casasola (22, Salernitana from Italy), Fabricio Bustos (22, Independent), José Luis Gómez (22, Lanús), Renzo Saravia (25) , Leonardo Jara (27) and Jonathan Silva (24, Sporting de Lisboa). We will have to see where Lucas Martínez Quarta (22), Gonzalo Montiel (21, River), Alan Franco (21, Independiente) and Marcos Senesi (20, San Lorenzo) go.
The list of midfielders add to Lo Celso and Meza is extensive and varied. Started by Manuel Lanzini (25, West Ham), who was ruled out of the World Cup due to an injury. Pursuit with Leandro Paredes (24, Zenit), Santiago Ascacíbar (21), Matías Kranevitter (25, Seville), Angel Correa (23, Atlético de Madrid), Ricardo Centurión (25), Erik Lamela (26) , Tottenham), Ezequiel Barco (19 years old, Atlanta United), Guido Pizarro (28 years old, Seville), Iván Marcone (28 years old, Cruz Azul), Guido Rodríguez (24 years old, Mexico), Rodrigo Battaglia (26 years old, Sporting de Lisboa), Emiliano Rigoni (25 years old, Zenit), Gonzalo Martínez (25 years old), Franco Cervi (24 years old, Benfica), Lucas Ocampos (23 years old, Olympique Marseille), Mauricio Martinez (24 years old, Rosario Central) , Federico Cartabia (25, A Coruña) and Lucas Romero (24, Cruzeiro). Some young people in expansion: Matías Zaracho (20 years old) and Brian Mansilla (21 years old), both of Racing, Matías Vargas (21 years old, from Vélez) and Leonel Rival (18 years old, Central), to name some only a few.
