Diego Simeone enjoyed a long and successful career with Argentina

Current Atletico Madrid manager, Diego Simeone was one of the best defensive midfielders in Argentina history. The combative Argentine made a staggering 106 appearances for the Albiceleste scoring 11 goals. Simeone won two Copa Americas and a confederation cup with his national side. Simeone’s positioning skill, combative nature, determination and discipline made him an asset to any side.

Javier Mascherano along with Diego Simeone will provide the much needed defensive cover for this amazing team. Although Mascherano plays as a centre-back these days for Barcelona, he has played the majority of his career as a defensive midfielder. With 123 appearances for Argentina, Mascherano has been one of the longest serving players for the Albiceleste and he will be hoping to capture his maiden Copa America title at USA.
