Lionel Messi has yet to win a major international tournament with Argentina and compatriot Diego Simeone has indicated that the player should receive more help from his teammates.
Colombia defeated the Albiceleste 2-0 in their Copa America opener and the Atletico Madrid coach has insisted that Messi's only target is to win games.
"Messi can find a solution in a game at any time but he needs a team," Simeone told Fox Sports.
"The players who are with Messi have to understand the potential they have, which is huge and it's in the personality of each player.
"[Messi] needs each one of those who make up the team to feel secure and confident when they are around him," he stated.
"I have no doubt about Messi's class and stature, and he is going to adapt to any situation because he wants to win; I see him every day in Spain.
"It is not easy to win, although we always believe that we are the best.
"Messi plays within any formation because he wants to win."

Messi, the Lion of football King. He achieves all record but his Bad luck, Messi was born in Argentina. If he was born in another country, he will win national trophy also. But we are happy to find you.

Messi is a great player, but in life you have to suffer, people know he is the best player in the world that is why he is being criticised, we all know what Messi can do, he is an unstoppable player on the field, and we should show signs of support, because he has always made us happy when scoring goals, good luck Messi...
