Argentina cannot continue to rely on Lionel Messi for inspiration, says Juan Sebastian Veron, with a nation in transition needing to move away from being a one-man team.
While the Albiceleste have plenty of star quality at their disposal, with leading lights representing top teams around the world, they have struggled to find a winning formula of late.
Struggles at World Cup 2018 highlighted those flaws, with a disappointing last-16 exit made in Russia.
Too much emphasis has been placed on the ability of Messi to dig his country out of various holes, with Argentina now being urged to offer greater support to the Barcelona talisman as they welcome in a new era.
