That the players see what it is necessary to do before receiving the balloon. TOr knew what went to do and those do it few. The 10 has to represent this. While a leader can do this, is better for the team".

The 10 ours, that carecterizaba to the 10 Argentinian, Riquelme, Aimar, there is few or there is not. The 10 does not go in in these systems or is difficult to put it. Therefore it lost the training of these players".
