Maradona Selects Players for Friendly in Marseille in Two Weeks
On Wednesday, February 11th at the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille, France will host an international friendly against Diego Maradona’s Argentina.
A friendly against Argentina is already a big one, but the involvement of Maradona, the recently-appointed manager, adds a bit of spice.
Maradona is widely considered one of the two or three best players to ever play the game, except by those who consider him the best, full stop. He has reportedly tamed his self-destructive streak recently, and the world has seen fairly little of him as a manager, so all eyes are on him.
Here are the players he’s bringing to Marseille two weeks from today.
Goalkeepers
Juan Pablo Carrizo (Lazio Rome, Ita)
Sergio Romero (AZ Alkmaar, Pbs)
Defenders
Javier Zanetti (Inter Milan, Ita)
Martin Demichelis (Bayern Munich, All)
Gabriel Heinze (Real Madrid, Esp)
Daniel Díaz (Getafe, Esp)
Nicolás Burdisso (Inter Milan, Ita)
Walter Samuel (Inter Milan, Ita)
Midfielders
Javier Mascherano (Liverpool, Ang)
Fernando Gago (Real Madrid, Esp)
Maximiliano Rodríguez (Atlético Madrid, Esp)
Jonás Gutiérrez (Newcastle, Ang)
Luis González (Porto, Por)
Attackers
Lionel Messi (Barcelone, Esp)
Sergio Agüero (Atlético Madrid, Esp)
Carlos Tévez (Manchester United, Ang)
Ezequiel Lavezzi (Naples, Ita)
Lisandro López (Porto, Por)
Germán Denis (Naples, Ita)
Angel Di María (Benfica, Por)
Hopefully it will be a great event. Lionel Messi has been in top form; hopefully he won’t carve us open. I wouldn’t begrudge them a goal, as long as France score 2 or 3.
Let us know if you have information about this match being televised.
