In the third round of the group stage of the Copa America, Argentina played against Peru. Messi did not start, Lautaro started, appeared in the Argentine 433 squad to replace Messi as a central striker.
In the 47th minute of the second half, there was a huge gap in the middle of the Peruvian defense, Di Maria sent a through stopper, and Lautaro scored in the face of the goalkeeper, and Argentina led 1-0. So far, Lautaro has scored three goals in a row in the Copa America.
Then, in the 86th minute, Lautaro scored another goal as Argentina won 2-0 against Peru.
In the 88th minute of the first round of the Copa America group stage against Canada, Lautaro received a straight plug from the front of Messi's penalty area and scored a close-range sweep, and Argentina sealed the victory 2-0.
In the second round against Chile, Lautaro came off the bench again. In the face of Chile's tenacious and dense defense, he was unable to attack for a long time, and replaced Alvarez with Lautaro in the 73rd minute. In the 88th minute, Argentina won a corner kick, Messi drove the ball in front of goal, causing chaos, Lautaro stabbed the ball in the scramble, and Argentina took a 1-0 lead.
In the case that Di Maria, the quasi-ball king, announced his retirement and Messi's plum king is old, the 27-year-old Lautaro is about to be reborn in the Copa America. Perhaps in the next five years, the Argentine team, which will lead the talented team, will crush the Brazilian team in the twilight, and the Uruguayan team, which is also full of talent, will shine brightly.
