Legendary Argentinian striker Gabriel Batistuta was interviewed by Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia about the future of the Argentinian national team after the flop at the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
The former Roma, Fiorentina and Inter striker was asked which of the current crop of Argentinian strikers he would choose to play if he was in charge to which he replied: “I struggle in choosing one. My favorite striker has always been Higuain but he has played in three World Cups for Argentina, he has had his chances. Now I think it is Icardi’s turn, he has a lot of room to improve.”
In conclusion Batigol which he was nicknamed by the fans during his time in Italy, underlined that: “Icardi, Dybala and Simeone are all serious boys, they have a lot of will to improve and I think they are the future of the national team. Pipita has already given what he has to give.”
