Argentina team trains in Barcelona in attack, defence

Barcelona, June 3: The Argentine national team held a training session on Sunday at the FC Barcelona facilities led by coach Jorge Sampaoli, with special attention to defence and attack situations.

The team has less than two weeks to go before their first match of the 2018 FIFA World Cup against Iceland on June 16, reports Efe.

Goalkeeping coach Martin Tocalli did a specific workout with the net minders, while forwards Lionel Messi, Angel di Maria and Gonzalo Higuain exercised away from journalists’ cameras.

The Argentina squad is to remain in Barcelona until June 7, as they have decided to advance their trip to Israel by one day ahead of a friendly in Jerusalem against the Israeli national team, scheduled for June 9.

Following their World Cup clash with Iceland, Argentina is set to face fellow Group D nations Croatia on June 21 and Nigeria on June 26.
