"We played with intelligence and personality," stated Batista after Argentina's sensational victory courtesy of two goals from Sergio Aguero and another from team captain Juan Roman Riquelme.
"We are celebrating this victory that is very important for us, and now we are thinking about Nigeria, who will be very difficult rivals," affirmed the coach, in reference to the side Argentina will face in the gold medal match of the Olympic Games.
Nigeria thrashed Belgium 4-1 in the other semi-final on Tuesday, and have yet to be defeated in the tournament.
"Nigeria will be a complicated team, but for now we are enjoying the victory over Brazil," insisted Batista, who will be hoping to get revenge over the Africans after having lost the decider in the Atlanta Olympics of 1996.
Despite being asked questions about their opponents in the final, Nigeria, Batista preferred to talk about their victory over Brazil, a result that he said makes Argentine football fans "very happy."
"We have learnt that we have to be patient with Brazil, we shouldn't attack them, because that way it is easy for them to hurt us," he stated. "Today we trampled all over them."
