Zambrano: I Hope All Of Argentina Cries
The defender is hoping that Peru will send Argentina crashing out.
Oct 5, 2009 5:55:00 PM
Peruvian defender Carlos Zambrano affirmed that his desire is for "all of Argentina to cry" when his team meet Los Albicelestes in a crucial 2010 World Cup qualifier.
"We need to spoil the party for Argentina. Hopefully we play a good match so that all of Argentina cries," said Zambrano, who plays for Schalke 04 of Germany.
If Peru claim a win or a draw at the Monumental stadium it will practically put an end to Argentina's World Cup hopes.
Zambrano recognised that it will be "a difficult game." "We need to win to move out of bottom place of the table. That is our motivation," he told Libero newspaper of Peru.
The defender paid little importance to the declarations made by Juan Roman Riquelme who said that Argentina will win the match by "four or five" goals.
"We shouldn't pay any attention to this. They will be pressured because they are playing at home and with their fans. We know that Argentina and Brazil are huge powers, but we have to wash our faces with a good result."
Despite the fact that Peru are already eliminated from the World Cup they are likely to take the game very seriously.
