Totally delivered to the cause of Leo Messi, Gabriel Omar Batistuta did not do more than elogiar to the forward of the FC Barcelona that in front of Venezuela equalised with a so much the 54 goals that "Bati" marked in all his career with the Argentinian selection and that they were the record for a player of the selection albiceleste. The ten equalised to the nine although to Batistuta only avenge him words of praise and admiration.

"I want to congratulate it to Messi. It is the first reaction that arises me when seeing that it surpassed my record. Leo deserves the title of maximum goleador of the Argentinian Selection (54 goals). Say any another thing of my part would be of more", had to well comment Batistuta for the newspaper "MD" just after the victory of Argentina on Venezuela with the enésimo show of the rosarino on the green.

"They take you out something that is yours. I, in the last times, said me today raised me and am the maximum goleador. Now this will be past. But the well, as it came it saying, is that the record no takes it out to me a normal player but an alien", commented the ex forward of Fiorentina and ACE Rome, among others teams.

Like this then , the attacker also commented that in his day arrived to the record almost without darse : "I became the goleador historical of Argentina without darse me. A day woke up me and said "did more goals that Maradona". It could not it believe. Therefore now it hurts a poquito that Messi go down me the record". The admiration of Batistuta remained clear with his following words:

"To who had not liked him play with Messi? We would have gone of the hand with the goals ja,ja. I do not have words to define it: Messi is an out of series. And it likes me that it go him well. Only I say that it hurts to lose the record because I did a lot for playing in the Selection. Until I cut me the peel with Passarella like trainer. Although it did me a favour because it remained me a disaster, ja. By the 9 of the Selection until had cut me other things... I wanted to play a World-wide and luckily was in three".

"Messi is not of this world, is an alien"

By all this, in the election between Cristiano Ronaldo or Leo, "Bati" remains with his compatriot. "Messi. Olvidate. Cristiano is a súper athlete, an impressive footballer, but Messi is not of this world... It is an alien", said to conclude affirming that, to day of today, the forward that more seems him is Luis Suárez.

"To Luis Suárez see it seemed. It litigates with all. It runs over in the area, does a lot of goals. When I see it it does me agree to mine parties", had to well say of a Suárez that, recently, affirmed that the same Batitusta had been his idol: "Impressive. It means that I went through the football and left something. That a player like this think well of me fills me of pride".
