Maradona believes Argentina will have to rely on the influence of Lionel Messi to do well at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia National Daily gathered.
Lionel Messi teams don’t fear Argentina again. Look at the last game against Nigeria, they nearly scored eight goals against us. In my time you know what happened when we played them National Daily learnt.
“Jorge Sampaoli is lucky we have Messi in the team because when he is in top form he can cover the mistakes of others.”
