"If it is not by him, the Selection does not play to at all", adds. He knows very well, to the equal that Leo Messi, what is to lose important finals. Leo Messi has lost two of Glass consecutive America and a World-wide in the last decade, whereas Heredia was to a minute, in 1974, to conquer the first Champions League in the history of the Athletic of Madrid. The Bayern Munich prevented it of tragic form.

Heredia, in any case, is from always a firm defender of the game of Leo Messi with the selection of Argentina, and think that 'The Flea' always gives all what has so that the albiceleste arrive as far as possible.

Has the hope, in this sense, that the Argentinian of Leo Messi still can conquer an important title, the World-wide of Qatar 2022. Leo Messi will have then 35 years, and that could be his last big international appointment with the albiceleste before the withdrawal of the selection.

It was as it was, it win some title or no, can not doubt the commitment of Leo Messi with a combined national of the that is the maximum goleador historical, and that if it did not go by him would have fallen at first in good part of the last tournaments. Thanks to his contribution, has achieved to keep the expectations until the decisive parties... Although it have not had luck in the finals.
