The players chosen by coach Sergio Bastista for the June 1 cracker are mostly under-25 players based in Europe. They are been given the chance to prove themselves worthy being in the Argentine team for the Copa America. Some of the players are making their international debut.
The organisers of the international had made Nigerians fans believe that top performers like Messi, Sergio Aguero, Angel D’ Maria, Javier Mascherano, Carlos Tevez and others would be coming. However, according to Argentine Football officials they attach much importance to the game as it would help their players and their preparation for the Copa America.
On the other hand Eagles coach Samson Siasia stated that he was looking forward to the match. This is because in all his encounter with the Argentines he had been on the losing side as a player and a coach.
“ It is going to be a very serious match and we need good preparation. It is going to be a big challenge and I like big challenges,” Siasia said.
South Africa-based former international Mohammed Lawal noted that the match could be a dicey for the Eagles notwithstanding the calibre of players coming. He urged the Eagles to be focused on beating the Argentines not matter what team they are bringing.
“ What is important is that we play to win no matter which team they bring. Because this will boost the confidence of the players.”
