        There is no pretending here, do not say he is just a player on the pitch, you have to keep an eye on him and talk to your defence line to keep tight on him. That can't see him like you can! If you frustrate him you've frustrated Argentina! He is Messi and you can!

        Don’t get yourself injured for a robber stamp match. We’ll get to the final and we’ll need you fully fit on that day. Rubber stamp match cos we will have already qualified for the round of 16 when we meet Argentina 😂

        And one more thing stop braging coz, nature can play tricks, watch Messi goal clips so as to know his pattern, watch the direction of his ball and other players, tell the defenders to give him hard time , avoid leaving the post unnecessarily unless it is urgent.
