Soccer-No rest for Messi in record-breaking Argentina appearance

Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni considered resting Lionel Messi for Monday’s Copa America clash against Paraguay but in the end good sense prevailed as the Barcelona striker was once again a key man in their 1-0 win.

“The truth is that Messi has played in all our games and so it is very difficult not to rely on him,” Scaloni said after a hard-fought game in which Argentina scored early and then ceded more and more ground to a Paraguay side that could not turn their possession into goals.“What worries me is the physical condition of the players,” the coach added. “The conditions were not great to play in.”He has played every minute and as usual never stopped looking for the ball.

Exactly where he will be next season is not certain but one thing that is not in doubt is his status at the national side. Argentina have not won a major title since lifting the Copa America in 1993 and it is the one blank page on his otherwise unblemished CV.
