True... I gotta tell ya though, if nobody fucks with Sampaoli and the guy doesn't lose his mind, Argentina could finally become the team they're always threatening to be but always ends up being flushed down the crapper and whining like little bitches. I fear the Sampa-Style!
On the other hand, when he was in charge of the Chilean national team he was interviewed by some Argentinian mook on TV and Sampaoli told him that players like Messi and Agüero couldn't be asked to make the same "sacrifices" on the pitch (e.g. constantly press on the rival's last line as if their lives depended on it) that guys like Alexis, Vargas or Medel make for 90 minutes.
