Riquelme: "Argentina without Leo Messi is a normal team"

Although the numbers and the prizes follow being of his side, to Lionel Andrés Messi always will go out him detractores. But that this occur him in his own Argentinian country is something that many do not bear. Especially those that have played with him and know perfectly that it is the best player of the history.

That is Juan Román Riquelme the one who in an interview made for the Argentinian public television went back to go out in defence of his fellow. The ex of the Barça and Villarreal, among others teams, affirmed in "Passion by the Football" that Argentina without his ten would not be at all.

"Argentina without him is a normal team. But this is logical. It is the best player of the world. The same would be if to the Real Madrid take him out to Cristiano Ronaldo", confirmed Riquelme.

Riquelme wants to Messi and Iniesta

A Riquelme that expects that two cracks of the Barça are in his farewell that will take place in the Bombonera. The same Messi and Andrés Iniesta would be the invited perfect, although Juan Román understands that it was very difficult given the distances between Buenos Aires and Barcelona. The one who surely was not will be his idol Diego Armando Maradona.

"I was in the farewell of Maradona. Had the luck that he finished playing with a T-shirt with my name, but do not think that he was in my party", concluded in this regard.
