German 'Mono' Burgos has leapt to the defence of Lionel Messi, stating that he cannot be expected to do everything for the Argentina national team by himself.
The Albiceleste drew 1-1 with Paraguay at home on Thursday night and the former Atletico Madrid assistant has said that other players need to do more.
"What do the other players contribute?" Burgos asked. "We always look to him to resolve things, but we have to look at the others as well."
Burgos continued to talk about his own playing days and how, when he was young, he tried his luck out of goal.
"At 11 I told my coach to take me out of goal," Burgos explained.
"I had a call from a team in Mar del Plata and I thought it was to play as a goalkeeper, but they wanted me as a central defender."

I feel bad when someone question his love for Country, "Whole Spanish Federation did everything in their power to convince Lionel to play for them" , It's not my statement, this statement was from Spain coach Mr Del Bosque, But Messi decided to play for Argentina. You may hate him but can't question his love for ARGENTINA π¦π·

football is a team game... you can't expect someone to do all the work... nor can you expect someone to sit back and do nothing... when sampaoli was the coach, he was OVERLY dependent on leo... scaloni has reduced that to a very small extent now, but he lacks a bit of tactical knowledge... this team is VERY unstable... the attack is one of the, if not the, best in the world, but the defence is totally atrocious... still, they exceed the expectations under scaloni, which isn't a bad thing... yet, they are very faulty at times... i honestly don't have much hope with this argentina side due to instability... the only reason i keep believing in them is the attack, and my favourite player... other than that, i honestly don't have much belief... but still, it's not wrong in believing, and i will keep on believing in them π that's what is called true admiration and support... come on leo, we haven't given up on you, and we never will... you winning an intl trophy isn't just your dream, but the dream of millions of people out there... i wish you all the luck in the world β€β€β€

Haha,Messi didn't get any help in 4 finals ,with better teammates than today's. And you expect him to get help π. Only pass to Messi in the d box was converted into goal. At the age of 33 ,Messi is going deep to collect the ball. Otherwise teammates lose possession before the ball reaches Messi .πIf Messi doesn't carry Argentina like he did against Ecuador, Argentina won't qualify ππ°

Football is a Team game. Argentina will start to find success when they realise that. Over depending Messi would do more harm than good to them.
