In an interview conceded recently to "TyC Sports" from Argentina, the seleccionador of the albiceleste and ex trainer of the FC Barcelona, Gerardo Martino, has explained the reasons by which has decided not summoning to Leo Messi so that it contest the Olympic games of Rio de Janeiro, something perfectly intelligible taking into account that the Argentinian star of the Barça will contest months before the Glass Centenarian America 2016.
"Always I had the idea that it went to be an exaggeration expose to Leo Messi to play some Olympic games again, especially taking into account that it was the Glass America before. If we had not had it before, would be speaking of another thing", explains.
"In his moment conversed it with him, coincided with me and even gave me his consent and was a bit what happened him to Neymar. It seems that Brazil decides to carry it only to the Olympic games", has argued the technician of the albiceleste.
Each selection has distinct players, besides, and Gerardo Martino, in contrast with the decision of Brazil to carry to two attackers consecrated like Neymar Jr and Willian to the Olympic games, thinks that for the albiceleste that will play in August was better to reinforce the defensive flank. "In function of the needs of the team also saw that it was more convenient to reinforce the equpo olympic of half of the field to backwards".
In this coyuntura, two of the big stars of the FC Barcelona, Neymar Jr and Leo Messi, will play so only a tournament this next summer, by what will have of sufficient time to rest of face to the next season 2016-17, in which the Barça will go back to have the challenge to win all the possible titles to content to the fans and fill the vitrinas of the Camp Nou.
