BUENOS AIRES, May 19 (DS) - Argentinean international midfielder Kily Gonzalez said he is psychologically 100 % ready for the World Cup.

"It will be very difficult, but we must please our nation," Valencia player told La Razon.

"I think Marcelo Bielsa's tactics results from his character. He is a winner coach, and here is the style of the team. The players join the national team with pleasure, and this is an important factor for winning the World Cup," he added.

Gonzalez indicated that though some injured players are ruled out of the competition, the rest of the team will do everything possible and impossible to lift the trophy.

"My nation is overcoming a different times, and we must try to make them forget their troubles for 90 minutes every time they watch Argentina's games. Of course, you cannot solve all problems by football, but I would like Argentina to be the best at least in football," Gonzalez concluded.
