Tata Martino not thinking of Messi Olympics call-up

Tata Martino not thinking of Messi Olympics call-up

Argentina coach Tata Martino says that it is unlikely Lionel Messi will play for his country at the Olympics in August 2016, 5-21.

"We haven't resolved if Messi will go, but I don't think it's feasible. There's a lot of U23 players who are doing things very well, like Icardi, Dybala, Vietto and Calleri," said the former FC Barcelona manager. 

Martino wants to give more time to the younger players in the Olympics. He confirmed he would be the coach of the national team in that competition, because "I think it makes sense because of the type of players involved."
