Di maria for arg would be more effective if played as an attacker , with madrid they have ronaldo and bale so it works for them but in this case aguero and higuain don't have the movement of wingers .
With most of the balls being played through the middle and no wingers to stretch the defense , messi gets very little space to create . Fullbacks end up with over-lapping runs making defense vulnerable.
4-2-3-1 with mascherano - enzo perez as holding mids would allow arg to attack with di maria , messi , aguero and lavezzi/higuain which is their strength .
