Lionel MESSI: “We can’t keep gifting more points”

Lionel MESSI, Javier MASCHERANO, Edgardo BAUZA and Lucas BIGLIA all spoke to the media.

Following Argentina’s 3-0 loss to Brazil, the veterans on the team and the coach spoke to the media about the match and the state of the team. Here’s what they had to say:

Lionel MESSI:
“We weren’t expecting this results. Up until the first goal, we were equal. We were very much equal. We have to think about Colombia and not have the same kinds of matches we’ve been having. Despite all the bad, the good thing is that we still depend on us. But we can’t keep gifting more points.”

“When we’re hurt, it’s costing us to get back up. We’re more than aware that we have to change a lot in our style of play.”

“We have to think of the positive: We depend on ourselves. We have to be strong and we’ll get out of our situation.”

“Today, we have to be more united than ever. We all want the same thing: To be at the World Cup.”

Javier MASCHERANO:
“I don’t know if we’ve reached rock bottom but it’s a complex situation. We can’t keep losing. We’re lucky that the other matches went our way. But we have to start winning matches.”

“It’s a situation we’ve put ourselves in and one that we have to get ourselves out of.”

Edgardo BAUZA:
“With us being behind, I had to risk it but it was a match which gave Brazil a lot of space. In three days, we have a chance for revenge. And we know that qualification depends on us.”

“The match against Colombia is going to be different. Let’s see how the players recover.”

Pablo ZABALETA:
“We have to reflect on ourselves, we have to criticize ourselves and win the upcoming match.”

Lucas BIGLIA:
“We’re the first one’s that are disappointed. We have to turn the page, quickly. We have to lift our heads, Tuesday we have another match. The first goal hurt us.”

  1. why i choose 4-2-3-1 because of dyabla.. becase we cant use him or auguro in 4-3-3.. world cup means 7 games we needed to be in good physical condition.. otherwise that will affect us.. so desperately we need young players.. with 4-3-3 system best line up for argentina..

    ruli
    perruzi/gomez mussachio/ garay otamendi(macherano) talifico/pacy full back

    perez(parades,ascasi,agusto)

    vazguez(sub banega) lanzini(sub pastore)
    in midfield still lacks enery but ok

    messi if injured(dimaria other wise no place) perroti/gaitan/correa

    icardi(sub higuain)

    we need better coach not better players…. dont blame players.. expecially great GANZOLOOOO( I LIKE HIM BECAUSE HE LOVE ARG) AND SAMPOLLI IS THE solution.. look him with average players he can play and competing RM BARCA JUVE AND WON AGAINGST ATLETICO… IF YOU DEFENDING WITH THESE PLAYERS YOU GOING TO LOOSE ONLY LIKE BAUZA… DONT BLAME PLAYERS ALL HAVING TALENT .. BUT WHAT IS BEST FOR THE TEAM IS FIRST.. COACH ONLY HAS THE RIGHT TO PUT A PROPER TEAM… WE WILL STILL QUALIFY EITHER EUCADAR OR PARAGUAY GIVE US CHANCE BUT WITH THIS COACH WE WILL ELIMEATED IN ROUND OF 16… BRING GOOD COACH AFA PLZ

  2. wow finally some of the so called players actually turned up but its a shame they were not able to turn up while a game was actually being played but in saying that most of them apparently did not know their was a game on with some thing close to zero effort and zero passion that they displayed today.

    meanwhile, we the fans of you over paid twats were suffering and puking into our buckets in disgust at the most pathetic effort ive seen since the semi final 0-4 w/c 2010 and that says something as that was a horror show.

    the only words I want to hear from any of you are the words starting with “I apologise…..” and after the 2nd game starting with bozo “I resign” and let you be joined by about 50% of you who are a disgrace to you country and we know and you know exactly who you are.

    I so wish so many of you morons played in Argentina, then we the Argentine people, the media and you fellow Argentines and fans would be able to tell you every week exactly what we think of you but no most of you will run away to your million $$ mansions to have the asses wiped by their clubs were we see you all delivering all the passion and game in the world…the bigger the paycheque the better most of you all play.

    excuse me I need to vimot again!!!

    • i just don’t see the point of blaming players anymore ,at least half of them should not be there but they are called up to represent n/t and normally they will answer the call until they decide to retire,i all starts from the top ,from the shitty AFA .when you have people whithout any intent of vision and any kind of strategy for football that is what we get .the current situation is sickening for the fans mostly but this has become the legacy of AFA now,when messi came along most of fans had high expectations argentina was gonna win something whith him like he was the saviour of the n/t.last 2 decades argentina has had better teams and they underachieved and disappointed all of us. any well organized football federation had they had the teams and the players we had in 1998 ,2002,2006,2014 would be at the minimum 1 time world cup winner but not argentina ,always something not normal happening like the coaches they pick and and controversy these coaches create with the selection of the players and and tactical decisions,bottom line is better lower the expectations because it is not getting better thanks to those in charge of running AFA

    local player or international player .. choose the line up that is to be a perfect play with a plan.. if you dont get best out of his players then messi icardi dybala gomez otamendi or any … 1. romero- he dont deserve nt because he is a bench warmer.. if you put no 1 team he will cost a match.. some body think he is good but not because he had to deal with a ball only a few times in argentina … thats why he escapes.. he is not a world class .. he need to be out of this team.

    2. zaba- he is good rb we have but he lost his pace.. and no energy we can use him as a back up.. otherwise he will cost a match..

    3. otamendi.. strenth strong in the air and advance tackling some times good some time gets bad.. because he dont have a pace.. and he is good with a ball compared to other cb… ***** he is to be in the team.. his partner must have a pace.. other wise problem.. (i will choose) most of the time with any formation

    4. funes mori.. we saw his glims of error .. he was destroyed by chelsea and today.. some of team mates saved up to now.. he strong in the air .. but he not good with ball and no use in possession game play.. with messi he wont on the pitch…(may be back up )

    5. mas he is average and not good with ball or LB IS OUR PROBLEM… WE NEED get the ball jordi alba.. because messi need that kind of full back.. on left side and important place in this team.. some of them said taclifico.. i dont know about him.. but need yound and energy full back.

    6. MACHERANO IS great but not now .. he is the destroyer now because he is playing dm with national team.. but he is lost pace.. and he cannot dribble to past any of them in midfield.. ( but we can use his regular place CB) OR needed in the bench..

    7. biglia he is a good passer but no energy no pace.. and too old.. he may be benched or get out of this team..

    8. enzo perez he is have great energy and experience.. he dont have accurate pass but he is still capaple to give something.. and aggression is good.. ( needed to be in CM NOT RM)

    9. DIMARIA.. once he was tirelessly runed but now he dont do.. he is gettingh oleder .. and he and messi in the same team .. that will destroy the team honestly because he is not good with ball he having good cross and some through ball his best place RM OR CAM HE IS NOT A winger or cm.. he need proper CF LIKE ICARDI WHO good in the air (ronaldo, benzema) not auguro messi or higuain.. that is a problem

    10. gaitan he is better supporter for messi than the he is good in the air and support the striker well.. and need to be in 23

    11. banega good passer and dribbling and he dont have a pace and that is why he dont know the best possition for him cm or cam.. he will be used only in 4-3-3 and other midfielder need to be like vidal otherwise he will make the team worst.

    12. pastore he is good cam but we dont have cm to support him he is also bad with defending but good coach can use him well.. energy is less.. and messi needed this kind of player..

    13. parades. he will get better because he is learning .. good passer good energy.. he can develop.. but not good at the moment but he can..

    14. ascasibar.. i dont know about him but i saw his statistics he can dribble that is what we needed in midfield and passing rate is 85 and he needed to be in the team.

    15. messi- i am big fan of him.. but some body says argentina win with messi loose with messi.. thats not he can help more than anyone because he can play too many positions rw and cf or cam.. thats why he is best in the history.. i know his weakness he will defend only he looses the ball other wise he wont.. so we need midfielder to back him like barca… he needed player run around him tirelessly.. how many ball messi gets in a match that will make him more dangerous .. barca know but argentina not.. if arg not use him proberly .. then they never get trophy..

    16. auguro- top class striker but his weekness is not win a ball in a air.. and good in the box any one in the world.. he is inbetween 9 and 10 that is the problem good coach can get him out best… but he is good with ball and good dribller than higuian and icardi

    17. dybala- he is fast and needed to be in the starting line up because he can play only cam or second striker.. he can support messi and icardi or higuain or parrato..

    18. higuin i dont love him because he feares in a big match.. other wise he is a good cf and he support messi well his movement and ave in the air.. and good in the box.. but i dont like him at the starting lineup and old too..

    19. icardi- some body want in the nt too ..me too but he is not good as aguro and higuain when compare to talent but he is better than both in the air and energy physical strenth .. and he can help better than the aguro and higuain.. he is good finisher but he lacks in the dribble.. but he is my no 9 for argentina..

    20. musachio he is good defender with pace.. he lacks physical strenth but i will use him in starting line up

    21.lanzini i watched him in the BPL.. HIS PASSING RANGE IS 91 HE IS ONLY BE A TEAM PLAYER BUT HE LACKS PHYSICAL STRENTH …

    22. vazguez he is good with the ball and great physical strength with messi need this kind of player.. less pace.. not a box to box.. that is missing in argentina.. that is a biggest weekness of our team..
    he only better in 4-3-3 or we can use him…
    HERE IS MY 11 MY SYSTEM IS 4-2-3-1 LINE UP
    RULLLI
    GOMEZ – MUSSACHIO/MACHERANO – OTAMENDI – TALIFICIO

    PEREZ/ AUGUSTO PARADES/ASCAZIBAR( STILL LACK PACE)

    MESSI DYBALA/(SUB AUGURO) LANZINI(GAITAN)

    ICARDI(SUB HIGUAIN OR PARRATO)

  4. “With us being behind, I had to risk it but it was a match which gave Brazil a lot of space. In three days, we have a chance for revenge. And we know that qualification depends on us.”

    “The match against Colombia is going to be different. Let’s see how the players recover.” THIS GUY A BIGGEST JOKE REVENGE FOR BRAZIL AGINST COLUMBIA…
