Intro:

Argentina duo Sergio Aguero and Maxi Rodriguez spoke on Thursday (10th July) ahead of the World Cup final against Germany.

Script:

SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Sergio Aguero, Argentina forward (on Germany's 7-1 thrashing of Brazil in semi-final)

"Obviously we are aware of this outcome. Germany is a great team. What happened to Brazil could have happened to anyone. And we know very well that what happened to Brazil could happen again. But, also, I believe Germany will be aware of us. they know that we have players that can decide a match. We have to do the same work we have been doing since the beginning. Very well balanced in defence, not allow the opposition any spaces, because Germany can kill you if you give them space. And also continue do play our game. We are in the final for a reason."

SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Maxi Rodriguez, Argentina winger (on what it means to be at the World Cup final)

"It's the dream from all of us. It's a privilege for us to be here at a World Cup final match. For me, every game is different, whether it is a friendly, a qualifier or a World Cup one. Whether you shoot a penalty at the practice or at a final match. Or a semi-final. You analyse previous matches, what you have done good, what you haven't, but tomorrow (the following game) is a final."
