Bauza has named an attacking four of Lionel Messi, Gonzalo Higuain, Angel Di Maria and Enzo Perez for the World Cup qualifier on Thursday. > Read: Bauza says Messi still surprises him The 58-year-old said his decision to include Perez was down to the opposition his team was facing in Belo Horizonte. "I opted for Di Maria and Enzo Perez because I believe they will be able to keep up the physical side," Bauza told a news conference. "Enzo Perez played in this position for two years in the selection, because it is there that he began to play. More than anything, we are thinking of the rival."
