ALEJANDRO SABELLA will send his troops into battle with Holland tonight with the biggest prize in football firmly in his sights - perhaps not something he might have envisaged the day he wrapped himself around a radiator at half-time at Hartlepool.
Sabella played for Sheffield United from 1978 to 1980 and former Blades team-mate Tony Kenworthy said: "He hated the cold. At half-time he would wrap himself around any radiator he could find in the dressing room.
"We played at Hartlepool and he didn't come out for the second half. He wouldn't come back out. He was too cold. We had to make a substitution."
QUOTE OF THE DAY: "He was our water in the desert."
Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella, referring to the narrow quarter-final win over Belgium, sums up what Lionel Messi means to him ahead of tonight’s showdown with Holland.
