Messi: "Martino warned me that it went to play 45 minutes"

In mixed zone after the defeat suffered by Argentina against the Portugal of Cristiano Ronaldo, Leo Messi ensured that it already knew in advance that only it went to play 45 minutes against the Portuguese, since Gerardo Martino wished to test to other players and different tactical variants when treating of a friendly. "It knew that it went to play 45 minutes. It had warned me the Tata", commented when they asked after him what had been substituted to the rest. It ensures that they carried of Old Trafford a "bitter flavour. We did very good first time, and in the second try the same dynamics". Although it thinks that "it was a good party in general".

And it is that the albiceleste had a greater control of the party and more occasions that the lusos. "In the 90 minutes did what wants the Tata, presionando and had the ball. They almost did not arrive. We could not concretise, but further of the result are still in the mouth of what wants the technician. There are positive things to rescue of the party. We go by the good way".

The "10" of the FC Barcelona was one of the most active men of the Argentinians during the first time. The Barcelona crashed a balloon to the stick and sent too high a launching from the frontal. To the rest, Gerardo Martino substituted him. Mascherano, by his part, followed on the lawn and saw how Guerreiro, in the last action of the party, did the 0-1 definite in Old Trafford.
