THE selection, satisfied with the performance of Barca

"Leo has done a great tournament, has fewer than ido. In the position he has played today we knew we could unbalance. There is at one with Agüero and with Riquelme, among others, and touch the ball very well, "said Batista.

The selection of Argentina stressed that this success was all the players, including alternates, who "collaborated on everything," he said. "Here there are a lot of quality players, some are better than others, but more than a player I would stress to the whole team, all are important," said

"We had humility and has worked very well, now we must enjoy this joy. Today has been a game played with a lot of heat and where we had to work a lot to win (0-1)," he added.

"I knew that Nigeria was going to be a tough opponent, one still remembers how it was lost in Atlanta. This has also been a difficult game, because they are a team very well organised, with players such as the 9 (Obinna) and 14 (Odemwinge) that are very dangerous, "he concluded.
