Tim Vickery Identifies Messi Replacement as Line-Breaker for Argentina

Tim Vickery discusses Argentina’s potential replacement for Messi, highlighting a line-breaker as the key player to fill the void left by the football legend.

Tim Vickery, a specialist in South American football, has designated Alejandro Garnacho as the potential replacement for Lionel Messi on Argentina’s national team.

On the pitch of play, Garnacho is known as a line-breaker who possesses exceptional abilities according to Vickery.

At present, Messi is recuperating from an injury whereas Garnacho has displayed exceptional performance for Manchester United.

Vickery told talkSPORT that with Messi injured and uncertain how long he will be absent, Julian Alvarez portrays a glimpse into Argentina’s future by stepping into the Messi role.

Their performance against Chile and Colombia was decent, but there is a notable absence in the final third of players who can confidently dribble. The team requires someone who has exceptional abilities to break through opposing defenses and create magic on the field similar to Messi or Di Maria.

There’s a lot riding on Garnacho at United this season. He may not start every game, but he could still be the one to break through and make an impact off the bench – essentially acting as a line-breaker for the team. All in all, it’s set to be a significant season for him.
