Bolivia vs Argentina Match Preview

Two reasons why Bolivia might upset Argentina

Bolivia will host Argentina in La Paz on April 1st in what will be their third home game in four matches. On paper, the Bolivians are way less strong than Maradona’s Argentina but the high altitude factor could pose huge problems for the Albicelestes.

Bolivia have not only managed good wins on home soil against Paraguay and Peru in the qualifiers, but were also minutes away from defeating Uruguay 2-1 who had previously trashed them 5-0 in Montevideo in their opening game of the qualification stages.

La Verde will be out for revenge after suffering an emphatic 3-0 loss against the Argentines in the first leg. But to be honest, it’s obvious that one may think that Bolivia have very little chances of creating an upset. However, they might benefit from Argentina’s recent distracted team spirit.
The Riquelme soap-opera

Where there is unity, there is success and where there is an opposition, there is downfall…
Juan Roman Riquelme’s sudden retirement from Argentina’s national team seems to have stained the club’s flying start under Diego Maradona ahead of their World Cup qualifiers in late March and early April.

"The national team is over for me," Riquelme told Canal 13 in a televised interview. "I'm going to watch the World Cup on the television."

Riquelme resignation – which is his third in his international career – came after he complained about being left out of the squad that faced Scotland and France.

"We don't think the same way. We don't share the same codes of ethics. While he is the coach of the national team, we can't work together," he said, to which Maradona retorted:

"I'm very sad that Riquelme does not want to play in my team but I'm not going to cry over spilt milk."
The fact here is that though the coach would not make a meal of this incident, the Argentina squad may be affected by Riquelme’s decision of leaving the team in the middle of the campaign.

The 30 year old classic playmaker, also regarded as the rock in the Albicelestes’ squad, could be retiring for good this time. But then, his decision will mark another chapter in Argentina’s new era since Diego Maradona’s appointment as coach of the senior national team.

How will Argentina fair without their qualification campaign top scorer Juan Roman Riquelme? What impact will his absence have in the Albicelestes dressing room and on their opponents’ confidence?
These questions are yet to be answered…
