Lol. “Failed” to make the Argentina Squad. That’s a crippling indictment of the lad not getting in ahead of the likes of Messi & Aguero.I think players should get a pat on the back for getting called up for international duty, not for being back in training because they failed to even make the 35 man shortlist for the squad. If Lamela had made it to the WC I'd be the first to congratulate him.
And having “failed” to get into that squad, he’s back early at the club, getting himself fully ready for next season. It’s not even June yet.
I think it’s absolutely tremendous that he is doing that to make sure he is in the best possible shape to challenge for a first team place. Whether or not he does get into the first team is another irrelevance. He’s doing all he can to keep himself in Poch’s plans. That is the sort of attitude that should be applauded, not guffawed at.
