The Argentinians are keen to upset Barcelona and win the Club World Cup
Alejandro Sabella - DT de Estudiantes de La Plata
Estudiantes coach Alejandro Sabella guided his team to Copa Libertadores victory earlier this year and he's now aiming to lift the Club World Cup in Abu Dhabi, where his side will begin in next Tuesday’s semi-final.
"I’m starting to feel a little nervous, mainly because this is a very important competition for the club. You try to do your job properly and leave nothing to chance, but football is football and you can end up with any one of three results," said Sabella to FIFA.com.
"We’ve got information on both the Korean and the African teams and we’re still looking at that. We’ll also have the chance to see them in action and that will give us a clearer picture of things. One thing I do know though, is that it won’t be easy.
"Estudiantes have a special feeling for tournaments like this and like any Argentinian team they always command respect, especially when they’re not the favourites. On paper Barcelona are the team to beat, but we’ll do everything we can to reach the final and, if we make it, to win the title."
