«MESSI CAN NOT SOLVE EVERYTHING FOR ARGENTINA» - TABÁREZ

Oscar Tabárez, Uruguay coach, left in defense of Lionel Messi, much criticized following the tremulous qualification for the World-2018 that Argentina is making.

"Messi is a great player, but he can not do everything, this is a team sport," he began by saying, "He gets all the praise for being the best player but gets all the blame when things do not go good. Even when he is not responsible. "

"Football is not easy and not always the best player can solve everything," he continued, dismissing that a possible absence in the next World Cup is a stain on the Barcelona star's career.

"There are great players in football history who have not been world champions. And Messi continues to play, it is impossible to say what will happen. Argentina are struggling to qualify, but if they can, it will be one of the candidates to win the World Cup, "he said.
