It is a relief that Di Maria and De Paul will be available for the match. But we cannot guarantee how many minutes they will play.
Each player in the team discusses the match and the opponent. Croatia are very good opponents. This match will be very tough.
They have a handful of great players. We have a clear conviction to play once morest such a team,’ said Scaloni.
Despite losing their first match in the group stage, Argentina made a strong comeback. In later matches, Argentina defeated Mexico, Poland, Australia and Holland.
Meanwhile, this is the second consecutive semi-final entry for Croatia, the runner-up of the last World Cup. Croatia defeated Brazil in the penalty shootout in the quarter.
