New Delhi, March 9 - Argentina coach Pablo Lombi has some special plans for hosts India when the two teams face each other in a play-off for the seventh-eight positions at the Hockey World Cup here Friday.<br><br>'We have to cut down on the spaces against India and then get down to man to man marking. I think if we can execute our plans properly then it would be tough for India,' Lombi said after Argentina defeated Canada 4-2 and finished fourth in Pool A. <br><br>Asked if the crowd would be a factor, Lombi said: 'I don't think so. But it would be exciting to play against them. They are improving as a team and we can give them a tough fight.' <br><br>Lombi said his boys were desperate to finish seventh as it would give a massive boost to the game back home. <br><br>'We are 14th in world rankings and if we finish seventh here, it would be a great achievement for the boys. But I know it is a tough task for them as well, because we are up against a good team like India,' he said. <br><br>'The World Cup has been a big eye opener for us. No we have to start playing more international matches in a year and then only we can move ahead,' he said.<br><br>
