Gonzalo Higuain: Argentina travel to face Romania

Argentina striker Gonzalo Higuain is anxiously looking forward to the World Cup and believes Wednesdays friendly against Romania will provide a good test for the South Americans.

The Albiceleste are playing their first friendly game of the year in Bucharest (kick-off 7pm GMT), with the World Cup in Brazil where they will face Bosnia-Herzegovina, Iran and Nigeria only 100 days away.

But Higuain knows the game against Romania is just an early warm-up for the major tournament and insists Argentina are only thinking about the summer showpiece.

We know how difficult qualifying was, but we hope we can play as well as we did in the qualifiers, he said.

The squad is great. Every time we all get together, we are happy.

We are all fully focused on the World Cup and on getting our minds ready for the tournament.

We have what it takes to have a good World Cup, but we should not talk too much about it now.

Former Liverpool midfielder Maxi Rodriguez currently playing for Newells Old Boys in Argentina added: Well try to fix some things because you cannot make mistakes at the World Cup.

The important thing is to be sure of what were capable of doing.
