After winning the World Cup, Messi has also become the third generation of football kings, and now Messi has set his goal on hitting the championship in the Copa America. But what surprised everyone was that Messi had problems with his physical condition this season. This time, Messi also played two games in the group stage of the Copa America competition, and he directly had physical problems.
Messi had returned directly to Argentina for treatment, and in the third game of the group stage, Messi did not play. This time, Messi also officially announced bad news again, because he was not very satisfied with his physical condition. Messi will continue his kinesiological rehabilitation, and Messi is still recovering quickly. Argentina's next knockout game against Ecuador, Messi is also likely to be unable to play. Even if Messi wanted to play, he would at most come on as a substitute in the second half of the game.
Messi's current physical condition is indeed difficult to maintain a long-term high-intensity game. This time Scaloni did not bring Dybala, which was indeed a surprise to everyone. As a World Cup winner, Dybala's performance in Roma this season is still online, but Scaloni still chose not to bring the Messi as a substitute. In the past, because Messi's body and condition were so good, Dybala was basically on the bench. None of them were able to get playing time.
Now that Messi is old, he really needs a replacement to help him share the pressure. But it's a pity that Dybala is not in the team anymore, in the game against Ecuador. Argentina also needed Enzo and Lautaro, Alvarez and other young people to step up and get the win.
