After playing two World Cup matches, Lionel Messi still has no goals and does not show his best game, and Argentine coach Jorge Sampaoli blamed his teammates for that, stating that they do not allow to reveal the genius of the "Barcelona" representative.
Yesterday, Argentina lost 0:3 to Croatia, and after the match their coach stated that L. Messi's difficulties in the game are the fault of his teammates playing poorly.
"I think that due to the realities of the composition of the Argentine national team, L. Messi's genius cannot be revealed. His performance is limited because his teammates do not play with him the way they should.
"As coaches, we have to accept this and try to resolve this problem as best as possible," J. Sampaoli said after the match.
It seems that such words from the coach did not please other Argentine national team players.
"He can say whatever he wants," Sergio Aguero briefly commented on the coach's statement.
In this World Cup, Argentina still has a match against Nigeria in the group stage, but in order to advance to the next stage, they not only need to win but also to get favorable results in other matches.
