Argentina will do well if ‘Messi does what he does every Sunday,’ says Scaloni

Argentina boss Lionel Scaloni says that his team will do well at the Copa America provided captain Lionel Messi “does what he does every Sunday.”

Messi heads into the tournament after topping the goalscoring charts across Europe again this season, racking up 51 goals in 50 games.

Scaloni says his team can shine at the tournament in Brazil due to the quality they have in attack.

“If we have a good performance as a team and, in addition, Messi does what he does every Sunday, surely we will do well,” he said.
