On 28 January, Messi was absent, but Argentina still beat Chile 2–1 in the World Preliminaries. Di Maria and Lautaro scored goals, the two Argentine strikers who are stars at the club, and are more aggressive at the national team level. Even without Messi holding back the defense, this group of Argentine strikers can play the system of the Copa America title. In this game, Argentina's first man and first captain Messi was absent, in addition to the sequelae of the infection with the virus, the body is still adjusting, the more important reason is that Messi has taken Argentina to advance to the World Cup last year, and the club has a Champions League mission, so he strategically gave up the World Preliminary Tournament that has nothing to do with the overall situation.

Although Messi missed the World Cup, Messi and the Argentine national team are still tied together. The first was the pre-world preliminary press conference of the Argentine national team on January 27, in which Argentine coach Scaloni was interviewed and talked about Messi's recent situation, such as physical condition. Messi also appeared as a certified account during the Internet live broadcast and greeted the audience.

In addition, after Argentina won, the Argentine players were interviewed and did not mention Messi less. For example, Di Maria said after the game: the victory is given to messi, the world's first man, and with him, it will be easier. Di Maria first commented on Argentina's performance in this game, saying: Argentina has performed very well, we know that there are disadvantages in away and altitude, it is particularly difficult to play, fortunately we won.

This Argentina team has been considered the big favorite to win this year's World Cup, but Argentina itself did not say so, they have been stressing growth, starting with Messi taking the lead. Di Maria said: "The Argentine national team is growing, although today we are missing the world first man and the manager, but we still win. Victory to Messi and Scaloni!

Regarding Messi, Di Maria said: With Messi in place, everything will be easier. It is obvious that Messi, as the third king of the ball, the first man in history and the world's best, most popular and most influential football player, is also the most all-round player in history, or the player who does not eat configuration and system in history, Messi can qualitatively change any serious teammate, and can also qualitatively change any team. So Neymar and de Bruyne and other colleagues have said: any team wants Messi, any player wants to be a teammate with Messi. Pele has previously said: If you find a player to be a teammate in the active duty, it is Messi.

However, this Argentina team has no Messi dependence, they have Messi in the strong dialogue more advantages, without Messi or Scaloni, the head coach, can also play according to the system and tactics, everyone is a soldier. Di Maria said: The important thing for Argentina is to continue to work in this way and bring more happiness to the Argentine people. DePaul also gave an interview, still talking about messi, the world's first man, saying: Without a captain, Argentina must do better. We acted like a team and were very stable.
