MESSI: “I want to play the Copa America”

A couple of days after scoring a sensational hat-trick for FC Barcelona against Real Madrid, Lionel MESSI have declared that he would like to play in the Copa America for Argentina and he added:

“Wearing the Albiceleste is always something really special”.

He was interviewed for a TV show from Argentina and when asked about the position in which he would like to play for the Albiceleste he said:

“I’d like to play like I did in the U20 World Cup (The Netherlands 2005 when Argentina became Youth World Champion and MESSI was top-scorer and elected best player of the tournament). I would like to play a free role in attack.”
