"We will plan our tactical game based on our knowledge of their players, in some way you have an idea about where will each player be on the field. From that point of view I think we've already done a lot of work. Argentina have a lot, a lot of very important players, a lot. But I think that more than the half of the players will be ones that played with Martino."

"It's a strange feeling - that once the times are given and we call the players up for international duty, we have an injured player. Maximiliano Pereira's injury affects me - the way he got injured is unfair - and it has consequences for him and the national team."
