Clean away your dinner plate, sweep the dressing room, do your homework and learn English!

These are among the rules laid down to Argentina's under-20 team by new coach Javier Mascherano as he tries to improve the players under his charge as both footballers and people.

The former Liverpool, Barcelona and West Ham midfielder, who started his role back in January, has established a code of conduct he expects his players to follow.

  • Clear plates and cutlery after eating
  • Clean the dressing room before leaving
  • Attend a communication workshop to learn how to deal with the media.
