According to Samuel Umtiti, Lionel Messi should not be expected to show the same performances for the Argentine national team as he does in "Barcelona". The five-time best player in the world managed to lead his fellow countrymen to the World Cup quarterfinals, but the favorites will definitely be the French team. However, the central defender of the latter's national team believes that a sniper cannot lead a poorly playing team forward alone, whose style of play is different from "Barcelona". "(Messi - ed. note) is different, he cannot play the same way with Argentina as he does with "Barcelona"," said Umtiti. "He doesn't have the same players, although Argentina has very good footballers." "It's completely different from "Barcelona", it's a different style of play." "I still think he saved them many times. When they were close to losing, he often pushed them forward. That's when Leo needs to be worried about." "The Argentines are strict about him. I understand that because of all his qualities, but he can't do everything alone." The clash between Argentina and France will be the first quarterfinal of the tournament. It will start on Saturday at 17:00.
