Messi concerned over Argentina’s ‘failures’

The captain of the national team will arrive in the country on Tuesday to get prepared for the matches against Chile and Venezuela for the first two qualifying rounds for Brazil 2014.

Argentina will receive Chile at River Plate’s Monumental stadium of Friday and will face Venezuela on Tuesday 11 in Puerto La Cruz.

He also stated that he is not in conditions to win a match by himself and that results depend on all of his teammates “like it happens in Barcelona,” which he referred as “the best team in the world.”

The player born in Rosario city ratified that “it’s not good” to compare his performance in the national team with the one he has in his club because sometimes he plays in different positions.

“I just want to have a good performance in the national team. I feel the people’s love in the streets and I feel happy when I meet an Argentine and he tells me positive things,” he concluded.
