The number 10 is waiting for Leo Messi
Argentine coach Lionel Scaloni has said tenner number 10 is reserved for Lionel Messi, while Argentina continues to hope that five times the Golden Ball winner will return to its national team.
Messi’s future in the Argentine team remains uncertain as he has not been made available for friendly matches against Guatemala and Colombia.
It is said that the 31-year-old is still thinking whether to continue to represent his country, following Argentina’s shameful failure at the World Cup this summer in Russia, where the South American giant was eliminated by France’s winner in the 16th stage of goods.
Messi has been the main topic of discussion since Scaloni replaced Jorge Samapoli and was no different either on Tuesday night, near the Argentine match against Colombia in New Jersey.
Asked for Messi and number 10, Scaloni said, “There is only one answer to your question: every player in the World keeps its own number.”
“At this time, number 10 belongs to Messi and so it will be until he decides if he wants to continue with us or not,” he stressed.
