D.Passarella: L. Messi doesn't try as hard in the national team as in "Barcelona" team

Argentinian national team must withstand a wave of criticism.

The country's specialists were upset by the weak performance of their compatriots against Venezuela - they lost 1:3 in a friendly match.

Well-known coach and 1978 World Champion Daniel Passarella targeted forward Lionel Messi and said:

"He is a great player who can contribute a lot to any team. However, in the Barcelona team, he plays with a different attitude. There he looks better.

Sometimes things like this can happen - you play well in a team and you are loved there, or you don't feel comfortable and something doesn't fit. I don't know what it could be, but you should feel something inside," - said D. Passarella.
