L'Equipe front cover's claim that Lionel Messi won't be able to break France's defence, has led the Argentine publication Ole to hit back suggesting that he will.
The French publication published a picture of the Barcelona superstar surrounded by five Les Bleus defenders, looking to dribble his way through.
'He won't pass' stated L'Equipe and Ole responded by publishing the same picture on their website, correcting the negative tone of the headline to 'he will pass'.
The Argentine portal read: "That's how we feel from this side of the pond, where everything is two, three or five times harder.
"No matter how many they are, we always overpass the obstacles and move forward.
"[Messi] grew up there, but he has the blood of those from here, so he will do it again.
"We trust them, and that's why we respond likewise to the French newspaper L'Equipe's cover.
"He will pass, L'Equipe. Leo will pass."

No wonder why Messi isn’t having a tough time in this World Cup because of this 4,5,6 players marking him.

I think that France will make Leo to become a defender as suppose to an attacking player because Argentina is going to be under a lot of pressure. This is an Argentina to make it to the knockout stage the last minute by beating Nigeria 2:1. How people can forget so quickly by talking how strong Argentina is common I am just a football fan not a blind fanatic who forget the facts. To be honest Argentina had great team in the past and won World Cup. However, this Argentina is not close to the one who the World Cup in Argentina or Mexico

don't talk about Fece Messi who don't shine against Big Games, he was Lucky For Referee who Decided to favor them in his Decision.
just as ronaldo was lucky or helped by the refs for not having a red card

Agree 100 percent with you but those fans they are talking about Messi will do this and that. That’s why I refer to individual talent.
Its just that Messi and Ronaldo has their way of playing ball individually than any other player

I think its has to do with team work not talented players

It will take a team to beat France not one player. If Argentina is to win, they have to play much much better than the team that I have seen so far because this French team has more talented players than any other teams in this World Cup

I just don't understand why most other teams, countries or club side always prepare three to four players to mark him whenever they want to play against him. @LM10
Ever wonder why other teams don't plan to mark Ronaldo out? Because he's no way near Messi in football. You will always plan to mark the GOAT out no matter what. The truth is that you can't mark him out.

Many defenders claimed in the past that Messi will not pass, but when they met with Messi in the pitch, all what they could see is light going off and on.
