Juan Roman Riquelme has proposed an interesting scheme for the national team.
Argentina suffered yet more international misery when they lost out to Chile in the Copa America final, it adds to the previous Copa American as well as losing the World Cup final to Ze Germans in 2014.

Or should they adopt this strategy heading forward? Sound off in the comments section below.
