Argentina Football Formation

Lineup (4-3-3)

Argentina needs to rejuvenate and that's what this formation does. Messi is allowed to play in his Barca-role as a false no. 9/trequartista with Aguero and Di Maria playing similarly to Pedro and Villa in front of him. The midfield trio of Gago, Mascherano and Banega combines combative aggression with great ability and movement. The defensive line however remains a worry with Otamendi still only in his first half year at Porto, Pareja and Ansaldi playing in Russia against weaker opposition and Zabaleta still being rather mediocre,
