No Copa America and No Olympics: Brighton Denies Barco Permit

After the Copa America, Valentin Boat he also sees the possibility of participating in the next Olympics with the Argentina Under 23 team coached by Mascherano, which will start in the next few weeks in Paris, slip away.

According to what is reported TycSports in fact, Brighton denied, despite initially seeming in favor of the idea, permission to the player who therefore will not be able to take part in the event: he will therefore have to join the group and train in pre-season with the English team. Second disappointment for the player, after having left in vain for the Seleccion retreat and then seeing himself cut from Lionel’s final list Stairs.

In that case it was a technical choice by the coach, in this case however there seems to have been the hand of the new British coach Fabián Hurzeler who took office on June 15 of this year and wants to have him with them from the start of the summer retreat. A surprising decision given that, precisely because of his exclusion from the group that is defending the title in the Copa America, the defender seemed to have time to dedicate to the Olympics. For Valentin Barco who is not leaving, there are other confirmations for the team that will take part in the Games: it is Gerónimo Rulli, 32-year-old goalkeeper of Ajax, who will defend the posts as an overage player, in place of Dibu Martinez, who would have gladly spent himself dreaming of winning another trophy, but who also did not obtain the ok from Unai Emery of theAston Villa.
