"After talking with him I have no doubts," Scaloni told reporters the day before Argentina face Venezuela in Caracas. The twice world champions also play Brazil in Sao Paulo on Sept 5 and Bolivia in Buenos Aires on Sept 9. Scaloni lauded the players who came from England in spite of a controversial move by Premier League clubs to stop them travelling. Aston Villa said their players, Emiliano Buendia and Emiliano Martinez, would fly home before the third game in order to miss fewer Premier League matches. "We gave the list for three games and the players are here to play all three," he said.
