BELO HORIZONTE (Reuters) - Lionel Messi has not been at his best at the Copa America but Brazil defender Thiago Silva says his side will not take their eyes off the Argentina captain for a minute in their semi-final on Tuesday.

"He is the best player in the world and he still could spring to life," Silva told a news conference on Saturday ahead of the first Copa meeting between the sides since the 2007 final, which Brazil won 3-0.

"The truth is I'm not having my best Copa America, it's always very difficult for us because we want to do something different and attack and teams pack out the middle of the pitch," he said. Argentina winger Angel di Maria says Messi is working hard for the team even if he is not making it onto the scoresheet.
