Nigeria vs Argentina: Sampaoli to pair Messi, Dybala in attack against Super Eagles

hehehehe...........Head coach of the Argentina national team, Jorge Sampaoli, is ready to pair Barcelona superstar, Lionel Messi and Juventus’ Paulo Dybala in his attack, when they take on Nigeria in an international friendly on November 14.

Sampaoli is seeking to try out a new formation, as he prepares the South American giants for the 2018 World Cup.

Argentina will play two friendly games in Russia. They face the World Cup hosts, before clashing with the Super Eagles in Krasnordar few days later.
Sampaoli says he will set up a partnership between two of his best fowards, who are also the top scorers in their respective leagues.
“There are players that are at strength when they play together, and there are others who do not for the short time of work. I’ll try to have the best player with someone from Dyabala level,” he told local media.
“Messi and Dyabala can occupy places naturally without affecting our structure, the error in pairing players occur when you want to structure the talent. Here they have to be liberated and they can develop for the good of the team.

“We’ll try to test them together in attack in our friendly games in November, hopefully it will work and work well for the benefit of the team at the World Cup.”
