Paulo DYBALA double, Lionel MESSI scores, AGUERO misses, more

Paulo DYBALA continues to show why he should start for Argentina, Lionel MESSI scores 3 minutes back from injury, Manuel LANZINI scored his second goal of the season for West Ham while Sergio AGUERO missed yet another penalty.

Paulo DYBALA scored a fantastic free kick and added a second from the penalty spot to give Juventus a 2-1 win against Udinese.

Lionel MESSI didn’t wait long before registering his first goal back from injury. Three minutes into his return, MESSI scored past former Argentine international goalkeeper German LUX (goalkeeper at the 2005 Confederations Cup) in Barcelona’s 4-1 win against Deportivo.

Manuel LANZINI secured the victory for the Hammers in West Ham’s 1-0 win away to Crystal Palace. LANZINI was at the end of a great move to side foot it into the back of the net.

The terrible week for Sergio AGUERO continues. After having missed a penalty kick for Argentina (not that I have to remind anyone here) against Paraguay earlier in the week, AGUERO missed his second of the week in Manchester City’s 1-1 draw at home to Everton.

Diego MARADONA on Lionel MESSI: “Leave him in peace!”

Diego MARADONA took to the media to defend Lionel MESSI.

MARADONA hasn’t always backed MESSI but in his latest comments, Diego made sure to defend the National Team captain. Here’s what he had to say:

“He (MESSI) doesn’t have to lift a World Cup to be considered a phenomenon. Enough with that! Enough of the whole he doesn’t have a personality, that he doesn’t sing the anthem… Leave him in peace!”

“The kid has all the right to retire from the National Team like he did during the summer. All the right. And then everyone comes out asking him to come back. Even the ones which were criticizing him before!”

César Luis MENOTTI: “The team does not have a vision”

César Luis MENOTTI: “The team does not have a vision”

The legendary César Luis MENOTTI spoke to El Larguero in Argentina and gave his thoughts on the situation going on with the National Team.

Always one of my favorites to listen to, here’s what the World Cup winning coach had to say:

“This orchestra (Argentina) doesn’t know what it has to play. Either they don’t know or they haven’t understood. Argentina is a squad filled with great solo acts, but they can’t play together. The team does not have a vision and their commitment still hasn’t been seen.”

“MESSI has sustained an Argentina team that doesn’t play well. Without him, I am not sure they qualify for the World Cup. The journalism in Argentina say MESSI is God when they win and he’s the worst when they lose. Journalists make MESSI the only reason for Argentina either winning or losing. Without MESSI, Argentina would not have gotten out of the group stage of the World Cup in Brazil.”

On if the National Team is MESSI’s “clan”:
“It’s a lie. If that were true, the responsibility would fall to the coach. I don’t think MESSI calls the shots. If he’s closer to AGUERO than with others, I don’t know, but that happens in every team.”

“It’s the coach’s fault. It’s like a violinist that wants to play his solo when he feels like it. You get him off and replace him. BAUZA is just learning. He’s getting players a day before the game and he has to manage who is in better form.”
