Argentina is OK with Sampaoli

Jun 26, 2018

Veteran midfielder Javier Mascherano says the relationship between Argentina's players and coach Jorge Sampaoli are okay.

This, after reports of unrest within the squad emerged while there are also rumours that Sampaoli could be sacked following their recent 3-nil loss to Croatia.

Meanwhile, speaking to us ahead of Argentina's group game against Nigeria, ex-Malaysia international Shebby Singh says Sampaoli deserves all criticism hurled against him thus far.

"You cannot come into a competition like the world cup and change formation, change tactics from game to game and Jorge Sampaoli somehow, it's a situation where the coach doesn't know whcih is his best team."
