I can see Lamela finally make it into the field in second half Hopefully..... Messi doesnt have confedration cup to play, he can rest for full month after this which is probably he wanted to play. He needs to play because that's also the reason why the set up this friendly, the crowd wanted to see him. He got cheered everytime he touch the ball.
Messi did his job, let him go relax, there is no need to play in any more, nothing to prove. He wants to tie or surpass Diego? Got a friendly vs the Italians in 2 months, he can do it then.
The team look much more energized, high altitude certainly effected the players against Bolivia and Ecuador. The match against Colombia seems heading to this path with some great chances by Pipita and Kun early in the game and then the red forced us to play differently.
I just don't want Messi to be overworked when he's not fully healed. Sabella should think about his players instead of just keeping his job. The contract said that if Messi played, they got $500,000.. he played, scored two goals. Let him relax and tryout the youngsters.
He will be replace probably between 60-70 mins mark. If not, well we can only pray nothing happen to him. His playing style will risk him while playing under injury since opponent always fail to get the ball but his legs instead
Brana? lol. If it wasn't for Sabella, the closest he would have gotten to the Seleccion is playing on a PlayStation.
Lavezzi has been pretty good, has been everywhere, gave Messi 2 assists from his goals. I like that unselfish part of his game.
Kun has been very unlucky in last few matches, 2 goal disallowed, hitting the post... at least he scored few days ago though
