In an interview with Spanish media outlet Ole, FC Barcelona superstar and Argentina national team captain, Lionel Messi hit back at a wide range of rumours that have been reported about him starting with strongly denying all claims that he tells the coaches who to pick.
The 4 time Champions League winner continued to say that he had no part in Inter captain Mauro Icardi not being called up to the Argentinian national team.
“It is now coming out that all that was said was a lie. I never said I did not want Maurito on the national team, nor did I do it regarding other players. It is not my way of acting, I am just going to add that and that’s it. ”
Nerazzurri captain Mauro Icardi has been in lethal form this season scoring 11 goals in 12 Serie A matches including a historic hattrick in the derby della Madonnina against AC Milan but has only been called up to the Argentinian national team 4 times in the past.
