Each international break is the opportunity for several players who took part in the Maurice Revello Tournament to make their international debut. Over the last days, some of them earned their first international cap.

Kangin Lee (South Korea)

Named best player of the World Cup U20 held in May, Kangin Lee has also forced his way into the Valencia first-team. The South Korean starlet has enjoyed an astonishing rise and has been rewarded with an international debut with the Souh Korea senior team. The Maurice Revello Tournament 2018 fourth best player has been included in the starting XI on this Thursday for the friendly against Georgia (2-2) and played more than an hour before being substituted.

Claudio Baeza and Tomas Alarcon (Chile)

Reinaldo Rueda, head coach of La Roja, has tested several players during the friendly played this Friday against Argentina (0-0). This game was the opportunity for two players seen at the Maurice Revello Tournament to enjoy their international bow. Nexaca midfieder Claudio Baeza has started the game before being replaced by the young Tomas Alarcon, who played the Maurice Revello Tournament in June with the Chile olympic team. Both players earned their first international cap during this game.

José Carlos Martinez (Guatemala)

CONCACAF Nations League football returned this week. Placed in the League C of the competition, Guatemala hammered Anguilla (10-0). José Carlos Martinez, who took part in the Maurice Revello Tournament 2019, played a key role in this win by scoring in the first. What a debut with Los Chapines for the 21-year-old forward !
