Squad details correct up to
and including Argentina's match against Nigeria on 2 June 2002.
Diary
Monday,
6 May 2002 - Coach Marcelo
Bielsa has named a preliminary twelve man squad for the World Cup Finals. Bielsa
decided to name his squad in two stages, beginning with players whose club
commitments are over. Going to Argentina's training camp in Rome are Gabriel
Batistuta, Claudio Caniggia, Jose Chamot, Hernan Crespo, Marcelo Gallardo,
Claudio Husain, Claudio Lopez, Ariel Ortega, Mauricio Pochettino, Walter Samuel,
Diego Simeone and Javier Zanetti.
During the week - Juan Sebastian Veron
has been added to the squad.
Monday,
13 May 2002 - Marcelo Bielsa has
called up another eight players to his Rome-based training camp. They are Pablo
Aimar, Matias Almeyda, Roberto Ayala, Roberto Bonano, German Burgos, Pablo
Cavallero, Kily Gonzalez and Gustavo Lopez.
During the week - Juan Pablo Sorin and
Diego Placente are the final two players added to the squad.
Monday,
20 May 2002 - Tunisia
have cancelled their game against Argentina scheduled for Wednesday. The
warm-up match was only arranged a month ago, but Tunisia's coach Ammar
Souayah has called it off saying he does not want to over exert his
players. Marco Biesla's men now plan to play J-League side Kashima Antlers
instead.
Thursday,
23 May 2002 - Gabriel
Batistuta scores four goals in Argentina's 5-1 win over Kashima Antlers.
Sunday,
2 June 2002 - Argentina moved
ominously towards the top of Group F with a well-disciplined win over
Nigeria. The prolific Gabriel Batistuta rose majestically to head a second
half winner for the tournament favourites. Argentina were forced into a
late reshuffle after Roberto Ayala was forced to withdraw with a thigh
injury.
