National Team player threatened Messi “I will break his legs”

In the program hosted by journalist Gonzalez Oro, broadcast by a renowned Buenos Aires radio station, Marcelo Open, footballers’ lawyer and representative, said that “a player from the selectin threatened Lionel Messi to break his legs.”

Open said that “if we have a headcase threatening Messi and tells him he’ll break his legs, and it’s a colleague who’s in the squad, there’s something wrong.”

The lawyer didn’t give any names but he pointed out that “over the Brazil-Argentina match a footballer could be seen blaming a teammate after the first goal.”

Marcelo Open said that “with a serious coach these things wouldn’t happen. What would be unreal is that the team does well. Instead of defending Messi, who is an educated boy who makes us look good in the world and is worth 120 million dollars, the one who threatens him is defended and he is given away to play elsewhere.”

He added that he believes the team will qualify for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, but he fears a botch up if the course isn’t changed.
