Starting Lineup Update for Ecuador game






In yesterday's training session the lineup was the following:

GK - Abbondanzieri
D - Burdisso
D - Demichelis
D - Heinze
M - Zanetti
M - Mascherano
M - Veron
M - Maxi Rodriguez
M - Riquelme
F - Messi
F - Aguero

Barring any last minute changes, Riquelme continues to recover the weight that he lost due to a case of gastroenteritis, that will probably be the lineup on Sunday against Ecuador.

Basile will use a 3-4-1-2 formation but with Zanetti in the right midfield spot, the backline easily becomes a 4 man line. Mascherano will once again be responsible for covering alot of space in the midfield as there will be no partnership with Gago, at least not at the start of the game. Veron will in theory play alongside Mascherano but he won't be static so he'll be in different areas of the field and will be looking to link up with Riquelme. Maxi Rodriguez will switch to the left side of the midfield.

Riquelme will of course lead the attack and Messi and Aguero will be the dynamic duo upfront.
