Argentina must beat Peru and Uruguay in order to have a chance of going to South Africa.
“I really believe Argentina will qualify,” he told the Daily Star.
“The World Cup and promotion are so big for me. They are at the same level and I want them both so badly.
“Playing at the World Cup has always been my dream but next summer I want to be looking forward to games against Manchester United and Liverpool again as well.”
“For me, it is impossible that Argentina are not at the World Cup but everyone said the same about Newcastle and relegation,” he added.
“I know from bitter experience what can happen.”
