In an extensive article published in "The Avant-garde", César Luis Menotti has criticised the attacks that is suffering Leo Messi by part of the Argentinian press from the final of the Glass America 2015 lost against Chile and has ensured that the only that will achieve of this form is that "The Flea" decline to go with the albiceleste. Menotti Follows considering to Messi the best of the world, and does not think that the fact that Argentina fell in the final of the Glass America have been by his fault.

"Messi played good parties in the Glass America when Argentina played well, as it can not be of another form. Although it is likely that in the Selection do not exist the forcefulness and the ideology that give him to Leo a total security to move . But his talent is intact. By more than in the final have seen it tired. It is true that Chile worked well on him, but by moments had the feeling that had something".

"It went out what went out. But, we go to see if we understand it once and for all: a symphonic does not do only with a brilliant piano. They need violins and instruments of wind. It needs to all the orchestra. Argentina did not do a good final. Neither Messi neither. However, only some days before, against Colombia and Paraguay play well. Therefore I no dramatizo. Messi keeps on being the best footballer of the world and will go back to deleitar", begins the writing of Menotti.

For the ex seleccionador Argentinian, part of the problem roots in that Messi would not have to have been summoned for the Glass America. "Leo finished a season tremenda with the Barcelona, winning the Glass, the League and the Champions. And instead of being in the sea with the family, was in the Glass America. This is the madness that it is necessary to change. For him it does not have to be amused be sweating and struggling while Iniesta, Busquets or Hammered are resting in his holidays. And in his case no only there is physical fatigue, but of everything in general, to have acts, of advertising, of trips".

Menotti Appreciates the presence of Messi in the albiceleste. "We have to be clear and sincere with us when we compare to Messi by his performance with the Barcelona and with the Selection. If it had not been by him, Argentina had not gone to the World-wide. If Messi did not arrive to play, Argentina had not surpassed the first phase in Brazil, because it suffered against teams infinitely worse. And if it did not go by Leo, Argentina never had played the final of the World-wide. With the effort of the mates that marked goals and ran, but only won when Messi took out the rabbit of the basket".

And it asks to the press that do not criticise so much to the Argentinian star. "The people thinks that for having to Messi already have to it win everything. We do not make a mistake, Argentina without him is a normal team. The same that Brazil without Neymar, that can lose against any one. Those that better have played in the Glass America have been Ecuador and Peru. That is the truth. So to Messi it is necessary to take care it, not to criticise it. That they take care it because, if no, we will not go to the next World-wide".
