How http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-Maradona-c11160 as a coach (Part 2)
After the humiliation, the Argentinean Football Association decided to change their head coach. The “caretaker” under http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Batista-c7379 took charge early on and later he was announced as a permanent coach.
With Batista being in charge, the first match the Argentinean team played was against the World Champions http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841 won the game 4-1 and proved that all they needed was a better coach with improved tactics.
Batista introduced a team which was complete in terms of experience and talent. The Argentinean squad was a blend of talented young players and a few experienced players who were technically strong.
The Argentinean coach now has a complicated challenge up ahead. The Copa http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/America-c38390 is an important venture for the South American Giants. The importance of the competition swells further for the Argentineans because they are the ones hosting it.
The favourites to win the tournament beside Argentina are – as always – the Brazilians. Even though they had a disappointing FIFA World Cup, they came back and recovered strongly under their new coach http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mano-c23341 Menezes.
Another team which might threaten these two South American super powers is going to be http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Uruguay-c3035. Uruguay were the surprise package in the FIFA World Cup 2010 and it was mainly because of their striking stars Luis Suarez and Diego Forlan. The latter won the
FIFA Golden Ball Award which is handed to the best player of the tournament.
Sergio Batista has all the players he needs to win this competition. All he needs to do is to plant them in the right positions. In the World Cup, the Argentinean squad relied too much on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 and waited for him to create magic. However, Batista
now has to make sure that the team is not too much Messi dependant.
A few fixtures showed that Batista’s side does not rely too much on Lionel Messi but the game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858 was “Messi show” altogether.
The best way to make use of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carlos-c8346 Tevez playing as a centre forward.
The attacking midfielder should be the Palermo youngster http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Pastore-c18082. The Argentinean man spent an extraordinary season at the Italian club and he deserves a slot in Sergio Batista’s starting eleven.
With Messi falling right behind the striker, it would mean that Pastore will have ample of space to generate magic. He will also be able to spread out wide to add pace to the team’s wings and to give space to the two midfielders playing right behind him
– http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Mascherano-c18071.
Cambiasso can operate as a box to box midfielder while Javier Mascherano can feature as a traditional defensive midfielder. This way the team will make a basic formation of 4-3-3 but while going forward they will be shaped up differently – 4-1-3-2.
