Diego Maradona has stood up for Lionel Messes after the crisis that engulfed Argentina in the World Cup, insisting it is not absolutely his fault.
Argentina has started in the worst possible way the World in Russia, after stopping to draw Iceland at the opening match and then shamed by Croatia by beating 3-0.
As a result, Argentina risks being eliminated from the group stage if it does not win over Nigeria on Tuesday, hoping Iceland does not win over Croatia.
But Maradona, the winner of the World Cup with Argentina, does not think that Barcelona star is guilty of this weak form of his national team.
“Leo, I'd like to talk to you to tell you that you're not guilty of anything; absolutely nothing, and that I love you as always, I respect you as always. For me, you've been a great player at the World Cup [in South Africa in 2010]”, addressed Maradona Messes in a message conveyed by Telesur.
