Argentina's Messi and Zanetti leave the field after their team lost 3-1 against Brazil in a WC 2010 qualifying soccer match in Rosario
Guest at a school in Buenos Aires, where he was handing out teaching material through his Fondacion PUPI, Javier Zanetti talked about the prospects for the Argentine national team at the World Cup in Brazil: “It’s looking good, I have a lot of confidence in the players and the coach Alejandro Sabella. The excitement for the debut has passed, now I hope that this team can reach the final because these 23 players have an entire nation behind them. How Lionel Messi looks? Like always, he is the best in the world and doesn’t have to prove anything. We all have to accompany him on this journey which is very important for us.”

Zanetti is not worried by the less than excellent performance against Bosnia: “You have to keep in mind the excitement for many, because for them this was the first time in a World Cup. The team grows game after game, it’s a great staff and we must have faith that they will reach the final. Sabella and his boys will give everything for this country.”
