Difficult path to promised land

AFP, Rio de Janeiro
From Bramall Lane in Sheffield to a World Cup final in Brazil, Argentina boss Alejandro Sabella's path to the most important game in world football wasn't always paved with gold.
Sabella the player, much like the manager, was a modest professional and after an early career breakthrough at River Plate found himself in the unusual surrounds for an Argentinian in the late 1970s of the English lower leagues with Sheffield United.
Legend has it that the Blades had tried to
sign a teenage Diego Maradona but found his asking price too high and opted for the cheaper option in Sabella instead.
However, whilst the 59-year-old might have been unable to emulate Maradona's genius on the field, he has done a much better job of leading his country to the brink of a third World Cup triumph from the bench than Mara d o na managed four years ago.
Sabella's agent Eugenio Lopez confirmed on Friday that Sunday's final against Germany will almost certainly be his last game in charge of Argentina no matter the outcome His final task to succeed where
Maradona failed in a 4-0 thrashing by the Germans in the quarterfinals in South Africa.
Buenos Aires sports daily Ole once described him as the antithesis to Maradona. An understated and humble coach with a meticulous eye for tactical details.
After 15 years as assistant to Daniel Passarella in a variety of jobs including the Argentine and Uruguayan national teams, Sabella stepped out on his own two feet for the first time at Estudiantes in 2009 with almost instant success.
In his first year the club from La Plata won the Copa Libertadores for the first
time in 39 years in a not too dissimilar manner to the way La Albiceleste have battled their way to the World Cup final.
He has admitted to preferring smart, hard working players to those with more technical ability but littlegame intelligence
That has been shown in his preference for Lucas Biglia over Fernando Gago in the last two games and his decision to leave the creative talents of Ever Banega and lose Sosa out of the 23-man squad altogether.
Yet, it is he who could have the last laugh should he overcome the odds one last time at the Maracana on Sunday.
