Messi: The Spanish “are the world champions, but they respect us”

Lionel Messi, Argentine national team star, Sergio Batista defended his position and argued that in order to keep a good game, the cycle of “Checho” should last at least until the Copa America “and then see what happens.”

The Argentine crack said “we can not find a coach in two or three games, you have to let him work” while giving a message of hope: “We are at the beginning of a new stage and what is sought is the good game, we have players to do it.”

Messi said he is comfortable with the system posed by Batista, as he was with Maradona. He said that “each coach proposed different things and the truth is that I felt good with everyone.”

Therefore, Lio considered that, although the friendly against Spain should not be a hinge match for Checho, “it will be an important game, as are all those of the selection.”

Selected on the functioning of Europe, Messi said: “Their virtue is playing, holding the ball, but if we remove it, we can beat them,” adding that “they are the world champions, but they respect us.”
