Lionel Scaloni revealed that Lionel Messi told him that he did not feel well to play against Bolivia in La Paz and that is why the Rosario player was not even available among the substitutes in the match corresponding to the second date of the South American Qualifiers that the Argentine National Team won 3 to 0.
“It didn’t make sense to risk Messi”
“He himself told me that he didn’t feel well,” the coach told ESPN and added: “It didn’t make sense (for him to play), it’s a difficult stop, going into the height would even be taking a risk and it didn’t make sense.”
The man from Rosario has a muscular overload and has a very demanding schedule ahead of him with Inter Miami, so together they decided on his absence in La Paz, which the rest of the squad endured without problems and even achieving a historic victory in the height.
“When Leo is not there, the team has another attribute, it has other things. It is evident that we always prefer him to be there, but if he is not there we analyze what things we can do. We have Di María, Nico González, Julián, who came in very well today, and all the boys who come back.”
Scaloni said that Messi was not feeling well.
