friendly Argentina - Bielorussia,
August 20, 2008
The Argentina team arrived at Minsk, Bielorussia today. One player didn't travel with them. Maxi Rodriguez from Atlético de Madrid is injured and will not play in Argentina - Bielorussia. Argentina coach Alfio Basile has 16 players available for this game which is a preparation for the 2010 world cup qualifiers, in spanish "las Eliminatorias." See the 16 man call up list.
Today, August 18, the team trained under physical trainer Carlos Dibos. Tomorrow, the day before the game, there will be a double training session.
Argentinean newspaper, El Clarin's probable starting lineup:
Zanetti -- Burdisso -- Coloccini -- Heinze
Luis González -- Cambiasso -- Gutiérrez
Lisandro López -- Cavenaghi -- Carlos Tevez.
I'm happy for Lisandro Lopez and 'Lucho' Gonzalez because I'll get to see him play. I can't see him every week because FC Porto games aren't broadcast on my sports channels. Not too sure about Heinze. He looked like he was still in pre-season shape in yesterday's Supercopa 2008 against Valencia.
Of all these players, the Inter players start the Serie A season on August 30th. FC Porto players just lost the Portuguese Supercup to Sporting CP on Saturday. Tevez was in Argentina and did not play in Manchester United's first game of the season at Old Trafford, Man United 1-1 Newcastle.
With 6 changes allowed, I'm also looking forward to seeing Napoli's Denis.
