Argentina national team wary of touching Messi in training
Argentine central defender Neuen Perez admitted that the national team tries not to get into hard contact with Lionel Messi during training.
“I’m always afraid to touch or injure him, we have to take care of Messi. If we get him injured, then we will have big problems, we should not be idiots, — quotes the words of the defender Ole.com.
Argentina have two friendlies scheduled for September, against Honduras on September 23 and Jamaica four days later. The national team will start their campaign at the World Cup in Qatar on November 22 against Saudi Arabia in the first group match of the tournament.
