Lionel Messi played in the national team jersey almost a year later. And he made the return memorable by winning the country by scoring a goal.
Argentina beat Ecuador 1-0 in the World Cup qualifiers on Friday. Messi scored the only goal in the 13th minute from the penalty spot. From the start of the match at the stadium of the spectator-free Boca Juniors Club, the shouts of the fans were being played on the public address system. And the sound of 'Messi-Messi' kept ringing from the goal.
Messi admitted after the match that Argentina did not play as expected against Ecuador despite winning. "It's always important to start winning," he said. Because we know how difficult every match in the qualifying round is. "He added," We thought the team would play better. In reality, that did not happen. About a year later we played together in national team jerseys. Nerve stress sometimes complicates the situation. "
Winning Uruguay: Uruguay beat Chile 2-1 in the World Cup qualifiers on Friday. Messi's former teammate Luis Suarez also scored from the penalty spot in the 39th minute. Alexis Sanchez made it 1-1 in the 54th minute. Maximiliano Gomez Gonzalez scored the winning goal in the added time.
Messi's problem with the Argentine national team is always the same (and perhaps the same as the current problem he has with Barcelona): the lack of teammates who know how to interpolate how he plays.
In their best moment they were in Barcelona Iniesta, Xavi, Pujol.

generation is no more @trisan.
