Argentina wants Messi to play less for Barcelona
Argentine football federation president Claudio Tapia said
he has asked Lionel Messi to play less for Barcelona and be fresher for the
World cup.
Messi has been in blistering form for the Catalan side that
have raced clear at the top of LaLiga but in Argentina they are hoping he doesn’t
burn out before the summer.
“I hope that all the players will have the same form that
they are in the at the moment,” Tapia explained
“This is important for the coaches and directors, we spoke
with Messi for him to look after himself and play less at Barcelona.”
He also revealed that they had received an offer to play a friendly
game against Catalonia in Barcelona on June 4th and they are discussing the possibility
“Jorge (Sampaoli) said that it would be a good idea on a
football level and for us it would also be important economically” he added.
