Diego Maradona plea to Lionel Messi: don’t quit Argentina

-
Lionel Messi said he was quitting after Argentina’s defeat by Chile in the Copa America final.

 A dejected Messi, who had said he would swap his five World Player of the Year awards for one title with Argentina, announced after the match he was leaving the national team.
A call went out on social media for a demonstration to be held on Saturday at the Obelisco monument in the centre of Buenos Aires, a traditional spot for celebrating sporting victories, to urge Messi to reconsider.
“Messi must carry on in the national team ... because he still has a lot to give, because he’ll get to [the 2018 World Cup hosts] Russia with chances of being world champion,” Maradona told the Argentinian daily La Nación.

“Messi was abandoned and I don’t want to abandon him. That’s why I want to talk to him, to fight against all those who abandoned him,” said Maradona, who coached Messi and Argentina at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.“He has to lean more on the lads who can help him take the team forward and less on those who say he should leave,” added Maradona, who played in two World Cup finals.
