Messi, Valverde's confession

Federico Valverde is preparing for the worst as Uruguay take on Argentina on Friday.

A month after claiming the scalp of Brazil, Uruguay is preparing for an even greater challenge: the Celeste has in fact an appointment in Argentina on Friday for the 5e day of the Amsud zone qualifiers. A shock that Federico Valverde, Real Madrid midfielder, particularly fears. The reason ? The presence of Lionel Messi among the world champions.

“I don’t know how to stop Messi, I’ve never been able to stop him, he said at a press conference. I played a lot of matches against him when he was at Barcelona and Casemiro was always a weapon against Leo. You have to respect him because he is one of the best players in the world. It will be very difficult, we know the class of Argentina, of Messi, and everything they have achieved. »
