Messi is back in form, but will it be enough for Argentina?

Lionel Messi shined again at the World Cup, scoring two goals against Austria, but will his form be enough for the next matches? In the group match against Austria, Messi scored two goals, but before that he missed a penalty. After the match, in a conversation with journalists, he said: "I am happy with the win. It was a very difficult match, but deserved. We are glad that we can have peace for the next matches." "In this World Cup, all matches are difficult, close and intense. I'm glad I can experience it with my teammates." Messi also added that he was angry with himself for not using the starting eleven, but it was good that he could redeem it with goals. Lionel Scaloni, Argentina's coach, said about Messi: "He always leads by example, even in difficult moments. I don't know what else I can say about Leo, it's not enough." --- ## Related Articles 1.
