At present, the fate of Argentina in the 2018 World Cup is just hanging on the bell after the 1-1 draw in front of Iceland and lost 0-3 to Croatia.

If Lionel Messi and his teammates were forced to beat Nigeria in the final game, they would expect Iceland to slip in front of Croatia.

In the endangered situation, many Argentine stars have been calling for the director of the country's national football team, Jorge Burruchaga. And the 1986 World Cup winner Ricardo Giusti insisted he had talked to Burruchaga, and informed the players that they would be in full control of the squad at Nigeria.

"The fact is, if Sampaoli wants to sit in the chair, he can sit comfortably." If he does not want to, there is no problem. "

For his part, Sampaoli is said to have spoken to Argentine president Claudio Tapia, but is only aiming to retain the title of manager, instead of worrying about the fate of the national team at the 2018 World Cup.

At this time, Argentina is leveling the table D with only 1 point. Iceland (1 point), Nigeria (3) and Croatia (6).
