Here is an article from www.clarin.com

Batistuta se acercó para apoyar a la Selección

El ex goleador dijo presente en la concentración de Herzogenaurach para acompañar al plantel. "Están todos muertos, nadie puede estar contento", contó. No quiso hablar sobre un posible futuro como técnico del equipo argentino: "No creo que pueda pasar, ni me parece que sea el momento para hablar de eso. Igual, me parece que Grondona va a intentar retener a Pekerman".
Gabriel Batistuta, un referente histórico de la Selección, dijo presente en Herzogenaurach para apoyar al plantel argentino luego de la eliminación en cuartos de final del Mundial ante Alemania. "Vine antes para desearles suerte a los muchachos y ahora para acompañarlos. Están todos muertos, nadie puede estar contento", dijo el ex delantero al retirarse de la concentración.

"No hay nada para decir, creo que la compañía alcanza", sostuvo Batistuta, quien agregó: "Este equipo dejó todo y ofreció un muy buen fútbol en algunos partidos".

El máximo goleador histórico de Argentina reflexionó: "Hay una sola pregunta que los jugadores deben hacerse, y es si dejaron todo adentro de la cancha. Si la respuesta es positiva, las cosas mejoran".

Luego dio su opinión sobre el partido de ayer. "Alemania no demostró nada como para ganar, pero esto es un Mundial", manifestó. "Se jugaba de visitante, qué más se puede decir. Es un tema largo, yo no quisiera decir en dos palabras algo equivocado", opinó sobre la actuación del árbitro.

A la hora de hablar sobre el desempeño de Crespo, afirmó: "Argentina tenía un sistema de juego en el que no eran todos centros para Hernán, pero creo que él encontró su lugar y pudo hacer tres goles en cuatro partidos".

La gran pregunta de la mañana, claro, era si se consideraba un candidato a dirigir la Selección. "No creo que pueda pasar, ni me parece que sea el momento para hablar de eso", contó. "No hay un candidato que sobresalga. Si Diego tiene ganas, sería uno, pero no hablé con él. Creo que Grondona va a tratar de retener a Pekerman", concluyó.
