Lionel Messi:"My Son Asks Why They Crucify Me In Argentina" by Sportdab(op): 6:29pm On Mar 29, 2019
Barcelona Superstar Lionel Messi has claimed son Thiago asked him why fans in Argentina crucify him after his latest setback, MySportDab reports.

31-year-old Messi returned to the Argentina squad for last week's friendlies against Venezuela and Morroco, but suffered an injury and returned to Barcelona.

Messi played the full 90 minutes of Argentina's 3-1 defeat at home to Venezuela last Friday, but a groin issue meant he had to sit out Tuesday's 1-0 win over Morroco.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winnerhas often been made a scapegoat in his homeland for the national team's recent failures.

Messi's relationship with the South American media has always been fractious and he even announced his retirement from international duty in 2015 but reversed his decision.

During an interview with Argentinian radio show Club Octubre 94.7 FM this week, Messi has revealed that he finds the criticism "hard" and that his son has even picked upon the negative comments swirling in the media.

"It is hard, my son is always looking on YouTube and saw a video," he began.

"He asked me why in Argentina they want to kill me!

"But I like to keep going. I still want to win something with the national team. I am going to play all the important games. We already reached a World Cup final [in 2014] and this is not that easy."

they want to kill you because they expect you to score goals,provide assists,defend and act as the goalkeeper at the same time.

Ungrateful bastards

Messi is a big let down for Argentina, how can you explain him not wining any major trophy with the senior team. He should just retire forever.

At least CR7 won Euro 2016 with Portugal

Re: Lionel Messi:"My Son Asks Why They Crucify Me In Argentina" by chiboy1116: 9:38pm On Mar 29, 2019
Show me someone who has taken his country to four major international finals . U think it's easy to get there ? I don't even know why he's still with the Argentina team . It's not like he could have helped score those changes higuin missed , or the ones aguero missed , or could he have stopped the error cabelero made to give Croatia their first goal? Could he have stopped the coach from making Argentina to play a high line defence with slow defenders against players like griezman and a speed demon like kylian ? Could he haelve stopped rojo from fouling kylian in the pk box ?

Messi is a blessing to the Argentina national team , he took them to the 2018wc , without a good coach , and with unmotivated players . He literally got Argentina out of the WC group stage in 2014 . He literally took Argentina to the Copa finals in 2015 , he's their highest goalscorer and their highest assist provider . If anything they should b lucky he sticked with them after all these years of going through shit , if Argentina doesn't realise how much of a blessing this dude is to football , I don't know what else to say to them . Out of 200+ countries in the world and God choose Argentina ? They are extremely lucky .

For those saying Messi is afraid of playing outside barca, they're been delusional. He won under 20 and Olympic with Argentina and he was the star man of both events. Messi has done his bit for Argentina honestly, he has the highest goals and highest assists. What else do they want from him. Taken them to WC finals where the wastefulness of his teammates cost them the trophy same with Copa America. No one can say Messi didn't do his bit in all those competitions. He has tried, he deserves more honour than what he's getting
