Atlanta United coach Gerardo “Tata” MARTINO has commented on Argentina’s upcoming match against Chile.

The former Argentina National Team coach spoke about whether or not Argentina’s World Cup Qualifier against Chile will be seen as a revenge or not. Speaking to Radio Agricultura, MARTINO, who lost back to back finals to Chile had this to say:

Gerardo “Tata” MARTINO:

“If it’s revenge? They asked me that same question when we played the opening match at the Copa Centenario, which luckily we won and I can say that no, it wasn’t a revenge and this one likely won’t be either. It’s revenge for nothing, the finals were lost and nothing can be done to get them back.

Tata is currently coaching Atlanta United in their first season in North America’s MLS.

Argentina rumored eleven against Chile

With players beginning to arrive to Argentina and training with the team, there are already reports of a possible starting eleven.

Edgardo BAUZA will have to do without Pablo ZABALETA for both of his team’s World Cup Qualifying matches against Chile and Bolivia and he might have to do without Paulo DYBALA as well.

The absence of the Manchester City man will mean that Sevilla’s Gabriel MERCADO gets the start at right back. In the center back position, a suspension to Everton’s Ramiro FUNES MORI has apparently opened the door for Manchester United’s Marcos ROJO to start alongside Manchester City’s Nicolas OTAMENDI, partnering him in the center of the defense. ROJO has done very well this season for his club while playing in his more natural position.

The injury to Paulo DYBALA will mean that one of Sergio AGUERO or Ever BANEGA will start in his place. Per Ole, here is the rumored line-up:

Argentina starting eleven:

Romero; Mercado, Otamendi, Rojo, Mas; Biglia, Mascherano; Messi, Banega/Aguero, Di Maria; Higuain

Six players have yet ti arrive and will be arriving on Tuesday. Those players being Lionel MESSI, Javier MASCHERANO, Angel DI MARIA, Paulo DYBALA and Enzo PEREZ.

In view of #InternationalDayOfHappiness, felt that today was a perfect moment to look back on what could have been the most happiest day for fans of Argentina worldwide. After all, it seems that moment like these are now fast becoming a thing of the past with the current alarming state of Argentine football.

My heart beat even increase when watching Maxi RODRIGUEZ stepping up to take his kick, surely the most important kick in his life. And the moment he scored……

…..words can’t describe just how I felt at that moment.
