Lionel Messi is the soul of Argentina and we need him happy, says Carlos Tevez

Carlos Tevez has offered Lionel Messi some advice about his international future and has pretty much begged the Barcelona star not to give up on Argentina.

La Albiceleste had a tough World Cup and have now parted ways with coach Jorge Sampaoli.

Tevez says they must find a way of making Lionel Messi happy when he’s on international duty with the national team.

“I think Leo has to think about himself. He has to think that, if there is not a project that makes him happy and in which he feels comfortable, it is very difficult to take the responsibility of leading Argentina to become champions by himself.
