Martino invites feedback from Argentina players after shock defeat

Gerardo Martino will speak to his players in order to
find out what went wrong against Ecuador.

Argentina head coach Gerardo Martino will ask for feedback
from his players after they suffered a shock 2-0 home loss to
Ecuador in their opening World Cup qualifier.

The match in Buenos Aires looked like it was destined to finish
in a goalless draw until Frickson Erazo and Felipe Caicedo
struck inside the final 10 minutes as the Copa America runners-
up fell to defeat.

Martino admitted Ecuador had been better than Argentina in
every aspect and revealed he would listen to opinions from his
players ahead of their next game against Paraguay on Tuesday.

"The team's work in every line of play wasn't good enough," the
former Barcelona boss said to Ole.

"Now the players have to recover and talk over the game. It will
be good to listen to them in order to see what happened and
where they didn't feel comfortable.

"I cannot tell you what the worst thing was, but playing badly
with the ball causes damage without it. What we did when we
had it, or what we didn't do when they had it, was the worst.

"Ecuador were better than us in every aspect. The team lost its
shape."

Argentina are currently without injured captain Lionel Messi,
while they suffered an additional blow when Sergio Aguero
suffered a hamstring injury during the Ecuador defeat.
