Lionel Messi has not been in the rhythm since the beginning of this year's Copa America. Despite getting a few assists, this Inter Miami star has yet to score any goals.
In between, Messi was injured in the match against Chile. That's why the game against Peru was not played. Messi was not in form despite playing against Ecuador in the quarter. He also missed the penalty in the tiebreaker.
Fans are worried about Messi's form with such an injury, but coach Lionel Scaloni is not worried. Even if Messi is not 100% fit, the World Cup-winning coach has announced that he will play in the semi-final against Canada.
Regarding Messi's performance, the coach said, "We know, even if he is not fully fit, what he can give to the team." 99 percent of the time he is fit to play. He will play without recovery, never happened to me. Whenever he plays, he plays completely healthy. He is fully prepared for tomorrow's match as well.
Even if Messi is not healthy, coach Scaloni will field Messi for a short time. "It's an easy decision for me that Messi will play full time if he's fully fit and last 30 minutes if he's not fit," he said. Why not play if he is healthy? Do you have doubts about it? I am the coach of the team. I have no doubt about this. Even if he is not 100% healthy, he will still play. I am taking responsibility for it.
