Tuesday saw Diego Maradona name his second Argentina squad, in preparation for the friendly against
France in Marseilles on the 11th of February. For the first time Lionel Messi was called up by
El Diego - as was my mate Carlos Tevez - who, clearly motivated by my words of encouragement
on Saturday night, scored for Manchester [.
It's been a quiet-ish week for the main Argentine contingent in Europe, but there have been one or
two scorers. In Mexico, meanwhile, the new year's championship is already underway, and there were
five goals from Argentines as well as a couple of other decent contributions there. Step this

Boca Juniors' goalkeeping crisis should shortly be put to bed after it was confirmed on Thursday
that they've agreed a fee with Spanish side Getafe to buy Roberto Abbondanzieri back. The Xeneize
will pay €300,000 to the Madrid club for their former custodian. Abbondanzieri, for his part,

away to Maxi Rodríguez's and Ever Banega's Atlético de Madrid (Sergio Agüero didn't
play) as Barcelona [.
It was a relatively quiet weekend for Argentina's representatives in the exterior in the week prior
to the announcement of Diego Maradona's squad for the friendly with France (which is announced on
Tuesday and will include Seba Verón and Juan Román Riquelme), with some of the main
stories being transfer rumours.
