After the World Cup, radical changes that will shake the Argentine national team are slowly starting to fill up.
After an unsuccessful quarterfinal match against the French team, two players - Javier Mascherano and Lucas Biglia - announced their withdrawal from the team.
"It's all over. I hope these guys will achieve something significant in the future and win what we couldn't. We must support them, sooner or later it will happen," - said 34-year-old J. Mascherano, who played 147 matches for the national team.
"It's time to step down. I'll speak openly - the new generation is talented and now it's time to give these players an opportunity," - said 32-year-old defender L. Biglia, who wore the Argentine jersey 58 times.
