Lionel Messi is not experiencing the best period of his career. Currently, in the Barcelona team, he has to deal more and more with issues unrelated to football due to the Catalonia referendum. Meanwhile, the Argentina national team is facing serious problems in the World Cup qualifiers.
Yesterday, the Argentinians played a goalless draw with Peru, and now their fate depends on their opponents as well.
Former teammate of L. Messi, Xavi, said that in order to keep the Argentinean happy, they must give him the ball.
"Barcelona" and the Argentina national team cannot afford to have Messi go 10 minutes without touching the ball in matches," said Xavi.
"Messi must be involved in the game. He must be where the action is, where the ball is. If not, he will get very annoyed. If he doesn't touch the ball for 5 minutes, you have to bring it to him. He has to participate in the game," Xavi said about his former teammate.
