LCN 2009: South American Qualifying Zone

Argentina have faced 2 ugly defeats at the hands of Paraguay and Brasil, kicking off their LCN 2009 qualifying odyssey in an unwanted manner. The media has been HARASSING Maradona to quit as head Albiceleste coach, but the players remain confident in him; 'He is the best coach there is', Says Higuain - who Maradona placed for Messi in the dying minutes of the Paraguay defeat. 'He puts me on for the best [Messi] and I'm the only one to score. Talent knows talent'.

Higuain was the only member of the AFA who agreed to making a statement.
