I don't want revenge: Batistuta
|
 War and revenge will be the last thing on Gabriel Batistuta's mind when Argentina face England at the World Cup finals, the AS Roma striker told the U.K.'s Guardian newspaper.
The 33-year-old veteran of two World Cups said he was relishing the latest contest between two of world football's fiercest rivals in their group F clash on June 7.
But Batistuta played down suggestions that memories of the 1982 Falklands War between the two countries - or even past football encounters - would motivate him for the game in Sapporo, Japan.

'That kind of thing doesn't even enter my mind,' the former Fiorentina player told the Guardian.
'Personally I can't take the blame for what politicians did in 1982. I can't take on some kind of revenge or change history.
'I want to beat England because I want to win every game I play not because we went to war in 1982, or because we played against each other in 1998.' |
