(Diario Ole) -- "I will love to hear people say that I had played alongside Batistuta". Juan Esnaider hope his dream will come true next Wednesday in the match against Colombia."

"Bati in Italy is Maradona'. This is not a casual thing, he has work hard, he's been top striker several times, he deserves respect. Crespo is playing well but he's not Batistuta", said Esnaider.

So you think you can play with Bati? "Yes, I don't know what the coach will do, but I sincerely think I can easily play alongside Batistuta, I will love to do it because we've never played together, and it will be nice to say one day that I played with Batistuta."
