Lionel Messi Interview (Part 4)

Q: Has Maradona changed the style of football in the Argentine national side?

Yes, he has changed it a lot. The game has changed and we're trying to copy what Barcelona does. I think any
team, any national side will, if they can, reproduce that kind of football. And, as I said before, we have the players to
be able to do just that.

Q: Who do you predict will qualify in your group in the World Cup?

I think the competition is very evenly balanced. Anyone has the chance to qualify and we hope we're the first to do
so. I don't care who else gets through.

Q: What does Argentina need to do to ensure a place in the World Cup finals in 2010?

Play like we played in our first match with our new coach, with Maradona. If we play like that, Argentina can qualify
and much more.

Q: Can Argentina win the World Cup in 2010? Tell me what teams you fear the most?

Of course we can win, and as I said earlier, we've got the players to achieve that. We've only just started with our
new manager. There's still a lot of work to do and I think we've got the time to achieve it. And I'm not frightened of
any particular side, although I do respect all the big national sides particularly Spain at the moment.

Q: Which national team do you think is playing the best?
Spain are playing beautiful yet effective football at the moment. They are either the best or one of the best sides at the moment.

Q: How do you feel about playing with Sergio "Kun" Aguero?

He's a great player and I feel good playing with him. We've known each other quite a while, and it's really nice.

Q: Messi, Tevez, Aguero a great front three for Argentina, could you all play together?

Yes, we did it with Basile when he was still there and it went really well. So we could easily play together again.

Messi is my hero. The guy has so much talent, yet he is very humble and timid.

he has the attitude of a true professional athlete, hes always concentrated and always tries his best to provide help for hs team mates

[megalolkiller]

@soccerfreestyler2148 yeah thats true

[soccerfreestyler2148]

@megalolkiller Maradona Pele and Cruyff are over rated,the level has changed and so are the players,it is much more difficult to be a great player now days than it was in the past.you might start saying i know nothing about football but its true if you will watch videos from old matches you will see that they didnt know how to play against attackers they would give up fast and it was really damn easy to dribble thorugh the whole defence

[megalolkiller]

@Wolveslad yes i can see he is a fantastc player but he isnt improving he is not getting worse but he isnt getting better other players are he will be remaining an idol but he will never achieve like maradonna pele and cruyff did
