Edgardo Bauza still doesn't know where Leo Messi should play
The coach admits he is still looking for a position on the pitch which suits the Argentine star
He admitted, ahead of Argentina's clash with Bolivia in La Paz, that the team are not playing brilliantly
Edgardo Bauza admits his Argentina side are struggling to play well during their World Cup 2018 qualifiers. They are not able to work the ball well to find Leo Messi, who doesn’t shine as brightly for the Albiceleste as he does for Barcelona.
“There are games in which we does better than others. In others they press us a lot or it doesn’t go as well. In others the team doesn’t have the ball circulation, because of the pressure from the opponent,” said Bauza.
“The idea is to find a place on the pitch where Leo doesn’t just feel comfortable, but he can receive the ball and unbalance teams.”
This shows that Bauza is still looking for the ideal position to play Messi in.
The coach has already given his team to face Bolivia in La Paz on Tuesday night. It is: Romero, Roncaglia, Musacchio, Funes Mori, Rojo, Banega, Pizarro, Enzo Pérez, Di María, Pratto and Messi.
