About Messi

Batista: "At the game level, what we're seeing now is not the best version of Messi, I've seen better Messi, but while we ask Messi to show leadership, we should have the right helper for him, which is the duty of the coach. The Argentine national team, under Scaloni's leadership, is now doing well in this regard, with the team having a around 70% winning percentage, which gives Messi confidence. ”

"Coaches sometimes have to make decisions, such as assuming that De Paul and Paredes are in good shape, but who can better work with Messi? I think Paredes should be chosen, and there should be no excessive trial and error in this regard. ”

Batista: "Argentina are in good form right now, but we still have a long way to go and if we can choose, then the World Cup starts playing the best now. It's always hard to play in the World Cup, but I have confidence in argentina now, Argentina has always been the favourite team for the World Cup winners, of course, France, Germany, Belgium are also very good, we will have a fierce competition with them. ”
