The Argentine National Team stood with the authority of a world champion at the height of La Paz and, with Alexis Mac Allister and Enzo Fernández as emblems , achieved a great 3-0 victory over Bolivia on the second date of the South American Qualifiers .

This time, the central midfielder was the Liverpool man , unlike what had happened in the 2022 Qatar World Cup. This had already been seen in moments of Thursday’s match against Ecuador and was established in Bolivia. It is an idea that seems to be here to stay.

The partnership once again functioned perfectly , with Rodrigo De Paul as a very virtuous extension of the duo. Enzo and Alexis are the powerhouse of a team that always progresses from the touch forward. Furthermore, in an adverse context such as the one always posed by height, the ability to play in a few well-organized meters was valuable.

They complement each other perfectly , this has been known since the second game of the World Cup, when the entry of both organized the team and was one of the main reasons for achieving the third star.

This change in position seems to be a natural evolution of this luxurious midfield , perhaps the best on the planet in national team football. More liberated, Enzo can appear by surprise and also associate with the forwards. That’s how the first goal came and that’s how others will come.

Alexis has a superior mind to pull the strings and position herself. She also knows how to mark and occupy spaces when necessary. In La Paz, her silent contribution was key to imposing conditions from the beginning.
