Pichichi Lamela asks for minutes and knocks on Scaloni’s door

Erik Lamela came to the rescue in Mallorca to give at least the draw to Sevilla, who could win in the final stretch with Lucas Ocampos’s goal annulled. With this, Lamela already has four goals, all in the League, since the double with which he debuted against Rayo Vallecano and the final three-point goal in Getafe. He has also given two assists, one in the league championship and another in the Champions League.

And all, in just 520 minutes of play so far, which means that you participate in decisive action every 87 minutes. He is a crack, the Argentine, who has only started three times out of 10 in the League and none in the Champions League. There is no doubt that the Buenos Aires footballer is demanding more minutes, that with his numbers he is asking Lopetegui for a starting jersey.

Entering regularly between the starting eleven can also contribute to Lamela returning to the Argentine national team, which has already been missing for a few years. The goals surely have also caught the attention of Scaloni at the moment. A few weeks ago, I said it like this to As: “Of course it is a dream to be able to play the World Cup. But for now I am focusing on Sevilla, and whatever has to come will come.”

Optimistic in many ways, the Argentine prefers to keep the best of Mallorca: “At least it was not lost. We went for the victory, but the game started difficult with the goal they scored against us. When you don’t win, you have to fight not to lose. “
