Argentina defender Nicolas Tagliafico praises captain Lionel Messi for his desire to win a trophy for his country as they prepare for their Copa America opener against Colombia.
Argentina’s Lionel Messi in action during a match against Nicaragua in San Juan, Argentina.
Messi, now 31, also quit the national team after losing the 2016 Copa America final to Chile, a fourth successive defeat in a major final for Argentina after agonising losses in the 2007 and 2015 Copa finals and the 2014 World Cup showpiece. Coach Lionel Scaloni echoed the defender’s description of Argentina’s all-time top scorer Messi, who has been unable to replicate his achievements with Barcelona for his country.
Scaloni revealed his entire starting lineup against Colombia, putting Messi in a familiar front three alongside veteran forwards Angel di Maria and Sergio Aguero.
