Valverde deflects Argentina request to rest Messi

Ernesto Valverde deflected Argentina’s request to rest Lionel Messi more in order to preserve him for the world cup, simply insisting the Barcelona star wants to win everything for his club and country.
Argentine Football Association (AFA) president Claudio Tapia is eager for Messi to play less so he remains as fresh as possible when leading his nation at the World cup.
Tapia spoke to Argentine media on Tuesday, saying he had conversed with Barca over the prospect of “taking care” of Messi and playing him in fewer matches.
But Valverde refused to publicly reveal any such plans when asked in his pre-match  news conference ahead of Saturdays trip to Eibar, dodging the question by saluting the forward’s ambition.
“I absolutely trust everybody, especially Messi, who is our player,” Valverde told reporters.

I know that Leo’s ambition is to win everything with Barca and the national team. We want him in the best form for us and Argentina
