One more try at 4-3-1-2
I really don't want to see anymore tries with this strategy. Basile is so fucking stubborn, in his eyes there's only 4-3-1-2. (ok, maybe a tiny little bit of 4-2-3-1, but definitely not enough).
This is why I want to see someone stepping up and replace Coco. In the mean time that isn't possible... But hey, at least we get to watch beautiful football. I'm a fan of Scandinavian football. Norway is probably the weakest Scandinavian country but never the less, it's a good team and very stylish. They'll have to finish the rest of their Euro 2008 qualifying journey after the friendly, so the better we play, the better they'll be prepared to gain a spot in next year's european championship.
Basile is preparing a revamp, of players, to play the same 4-3-1-2 "better" :-(
Riquelme, Messi, Crespo, Tevez and Diego Milito will remain in the picture.
Maxi Rodriguez will replace Veron.
Carrizo will replace Abbondanzieri at goal. Ustari will likely pick up the #12 jersey.
Heinze's status is not confirmed, Ayala is confirmed left the selection. Zanetti still on the team. Garay, Pinola, Bottinelli and Gonzalo Rodriguez (when he recovers) will get their shots. Another close to being on the list is Fazio.
"Ensuring continuity in the bond" with Aguero is one of Basile's priorities and the U-20 champ will be integrated into the senior side at some point.
And stated by Olé, Saviola and Higuain are also likely to appear in the friendly on August 22nd.

Looks like the team for the next world cup is going to centered around Riquelme.
I would like to point out few aspects regarding his position and
more importantly relating to mid field.
1) Riquelme should start passing the ball litte quicker and not hanging to it too longer (eventuall loosing the ball).
2) Atleast there should be two people supporting his in mid field.
3) Little absurd but how about replacing Riquelme with messi all together.
4) As seen in copa america none of mid fielders (except messi) were able to synchronize with Riquelme.
Is crespo not in the line up for this friendly ?
rao
sorry about crespo didn't abserve his name properly.
rao
I hate to say this, but as long as Basile is the DT, we'll probably keep seeing 4-3-1-2.
Some adjustments need to be made. especially right outside midfielder and left wing (either wingback or winger). Let's wait till the list is confirmed on Tuesday then see what options Coco is proposing.
