Lionel Scaloni (photo: gettyimages.com)— We’ll see what happens, but first and foremost, we need to understand that there’s still a lot of time before that. We need to think about each match one at a time, otherwise I’m afraid that at every press conference and in every interview we will talk about the same thing until the end of the year. Let’s leave Messi in peace and see. He will make the decision himself when he wants to. There’s no need to torture him with this, — explained the coach of the reigning world champions when asked if Messi would play in the final part of the World Cup.
