A star-studded Argentina will face El Salvador this Saturday in Washington DC as each team prepares for its respective continental tournaments. La Albiceleste is getting ready for Copa America and Los Catrachos for the Gold Cup.
Alarms went off earlier in the week at Argentina´s camp when Lionel Messi was taken to a private clinic in the capital of the United States. La Pulga had sustained a blow to his right foot during El Clasico but is good to go for the game.
This is only the second time both teams meet. The first one was back in the 1982 World Cup in Spain when Argentina won 2-0. Daniel Passarella and Daniel Bertoni were the goal scorers for the winning side that day.
Messi will be reunited with a longtime friend. El Salvador´s coach, Albert Roca, was Frank Rijkaard´s assistant from 2003 to 2008. During that time, the world started to know what La Pulga was capable off.
Gerardo Martino is taking this game seriously. Calling up players like Gonzalo Higuain, Sergio Aguero, Sergio Romero, Marcos Rojo, Angel Di Maria is a lineup that shows how committed the team is for this tour.
La Albiceleste has a 2-0-2 record ever since falling to Germany in the final fo the World Cup, including a 0-2 loss
On the other side, El Salvador carries a three-game losing streak coming into Saturday’s game. The have face Spain, Colombia and Ecuador. This could be their last test before the Gold Cup in July.
Most of El Salvador’s players, including captain Andrés Flores, play for teams in the domestic league. In Argentina´s case, more than half of its roster plays in big European teams.
