translated from Spanish: Messi: “We know it’s going to be very difficult, that we play against Chile again”

Asked about the opener with Chile, a rival he faced 11 days ago in Santiago del Estero with a 1-1, the FC Barcelona star declared that “we need an important victory. We’ve been doing things right, we’re growing but we need to win. More at the start of the Copa America, where it’s important to start with the three points because it gives you peace of mind for what’s to come.” We know it’s going to be very difficult, that we play against Chile again, that we know each other a lot. We know the tough opponent that we are going to meet, but hopefully we can achieve it because it will be important for the whole group and will give the peace of mind to start with the three points and then continue”, added the ’10’ of the combined. In addition, Messi admitted that one of his big dreams is to win a title with the ‘albiceleste’. “I’m always available to be with the selection and give the most. My biggest dream is to be able to get a title with the national team. I was very close many times and unfortunately it was not given to me. I’ll try to keep looking for it until I can, until it happens, until the coach I’m in says I can be and contribute things to the group and the team, I’m always going to be there and fight with that dream. I was lucky enough to win everything at club level and individually, but it would be very nice to be able to get something with the national team as well,” he said. Argentina will face the ‘Roja’ from 17:00 hours tomorrow, for Group A, at the ‘Nilton Santos’ Stadium in Rio de Janeiro.
