Lionel Messi and Argentina will come under scrutiny once again as they gear up for the 2019 Copa America, but one take on their struggles has come from an unlikely source, former U.S. President Barack Obama.
Obama spoke at the EXMA Conference in Bogota, Colombia, on Tuesday and discussed the need for teamwork.
Per Goal's Sacha Pisani, he said:
"Even people that we consider geniuses work with other people in order to develop their style.
"In Argentina, even though Messi is wonderful, they have problems winning the World Cup.
"My advice to young people is that we have to recognise very few people achieve great things on their own.
